During the registration period children in Acorns are encouraged to identify how they are feeling, this is achieved by the school’s scaling system. The children scale themselves from 1-5 (1 is sad & 5 amazing). The children are always keen to tell us how they are feeling and are beginning to understand the importance of emotions and feelings. To support the children’s mental health we explain it’s ok to be sad and that it’s important to tell a grownup how they are feeling. After the registration period has finished we get active and celebrate the start of a new day which helps to put a smile on everyone’s face.
