P4/5 Outdoor PDMU Emotions lesson

P4/5 were outside enjoying the sunshine today while learning about our emotions. We used the emotion cushions to secretly select one which they would re-create as a group. The other groups then had a go at guessing which feeling or emotion they thought was being represented. As a class we discussed what words might you use to describe that emotion and thought of scenarios when we might feel that emotion.
