Feelings & Early Warning Signs – Protective Behaviours
This term our students are partaking in a 10 week ‘Protective Behaviours Programme’ to learn about being in tune with their feelings, setting boundaries, creating a network and how to react in unsafe situations. In class the Year 3’s thoroughly enjoyed creating their own early warning posters and identifying all the symptoms.
We have learned about a range of feelings and how our body reacts to various feelings. We have also found out what our early warning signs are when we feel nervous, uncomfortable or even unsafe. The valuable skills that the students are developing from this will help them to cope with any situation and make them aware of the range of feelings one experiences over and above the basic ones (sad, happy, scared and angry). It will also give them the confidence to handle uncomfortable situations and keep themselves safe through an easily approachable network.
We aim to empower our students to make the best choices under less than optimal conditions. Knowledge is power.
