Mr Foley’s Curiosity Club enjoyed another wonderful “Feelings Friday” session last week, focusing on the feeling of calm. The children listened to The Colour Monster, exploring the green monster and discussing what calm feels like. We also linked our learning to the Zones of Regulation, exploring calming sensory bottles and tools together. As a group, we talked about what being in the “green zone” looks like and shared different strategies that can help us stay calm and regulated throughout the day. To finish the session, the children took part in a creative art challenge, painting pictures that represented calm using only green tones. Some children painted peaceful scenes such as trees and nature, while others created abstract artwork using calming techniques like dotting and swirling brush strokes. It was fantastic to see such thoughtful conversations and creativity from everyone involved!

This week, our Curiosity Club enjoyed a “Tuneful Tuesday”. 🎼 The children explored the concept of tempo, starting with drumming and clapping to understand different speeds. They then practiced “Oh When the Saints” on their paper pianos. Mr. Foley gave each child a different tempo to focus on. 🎹 When the children played together at the end, we could hear all the different speeds blending into one fun performance!

This week Minnis Bay had a fantastic trip to Quex Park Farm. They enjoyed learning and participating in lots of different activities, from learning about ‘Life of a loaf of bread’ and different farm animals, to having the opportunity to feed them and experiencing a tractor ride. The children had a phenomenal time! Miss Warner was incredibly impressed with the class’s behaviour throughout the trip, and they all represented Newlands well.
