One Life - Positive and Negative Thoughts
To develop our One Life learning, we read the book 'Catching Thoughts'. We spoke about how we all have positive and negative thoughts, but we can choose which ones to listen to as not all thoughts are facts. Sometimes these thoughts can cause unhelpful feelings such as anger, but we need to catch the thought before it gets too big. That is where our inner cheerleaders come in. Try and hold onto the positive thoughts, so we can live our One Life well. Here are some of our positive and negative thoughts.
One Life - Labeling emotions through Colour Monsters
Valentine's Day Cards - Love Monsters
One Life - Inner Cheerleader
In this One Life lesson, we spoke about how we have the power to control our thoughts. Sometimes things can happen to us that make us experience big emotions, but when we are self-aware, we can control our behaviours and show up as our best selves. We discussed how we all have positive thoughts and unhelpful thoughts. We are going to call these our 'inner cheerleader' (positive thoughts) and ‘inner critic’ (unhelpful thoughts). We discussed what our inner cheerleader looked like to us, drew it and named it. Our inner cheerleaders will be consistently referred to throughout our time at Wheldon to promote positive thoughts, so we couldn't wait to share them with you!
One Life - Positive Self
The beginning of our ‘One Life’ journey! To introduce One Life, we read the book ‘I am enough’ and unpicked the key learning. We discussed how we are all unique by celebrating our differences and voicing what makes us special. We spoke about how we are all born to shine brightly and we have the power to do that if we believe we can. We drew a self portrait and spoke positive words about ourselves using affirmations. Our affirmations are fantastic!

Tim Peake - Mission Badges
We wanted to go to the International Space Station just like Tim Peake, so we created our own mission badges to wear as uniform.
Art - Vincent Van Vogh - Starry Night
We began this topic learning our primary colours, and practiced mixing them to create secondary colours. We then explored form and technique by creating different swirls, shapes and lines to reflect The Starry Night painting. We finished painting our own versions of The Starry Night.
