Feelings Books

As part of our 'Keeping Ourselves Safe' health unit we have been talking about feelings. 

As a T Group we brainstormed all the different feelings we have . Then during writing time we used Book Creator to make a book about different feelings.  We worked with a buddy to take photos that showed all the different feelings. We had lots of fun acting out the feelings. We then wrote sentences about those feelings. 

We'd love you to read our books.
