Behaviour Curriculum
Lesson 1: we learnt about regulation.
Lesson 2: we were introduced to the Zones.
Lesson 3: we were taught that all Zones are Okay
Lesson 4: we were taught to recognise the body signals which relate to our emotions and therefore the zones.
Lesson 5: we were taught that Zones Check-Ins can help us to pause and notice our signals, emotions and zones at different points throughout the day. Zones Check-Ins can make it easier to identify and communicate our feelings.
Lesson 6: we were taught to recognise situations that can serve as triggers and sparks, leading us to become dysregulated. Children were able to suggest what emotions they might make us feel.
Lesson 7: children were taught to identify regulation tools inside and outside of the body. Children learned that these tools are strategies to support self-regulation, and began to categorise them based on which zone they would support.
Important message from Mr Abbs: Zones of Regulation
Next week, in their classes, children will co-construct strategies/regulation tools together. This draft list will then be passed up to me: I will subsequently agree on which strategies/tools are acceptable for our school. This is to ensure any strategies/tools do not compromise/interrupt teaching & learning time. This is an especially important part of our implementation. And I’m sure, as parents, you can understand why this would also be important.
The school does not give consent for parents to send in any 'physical tools' on their child's behalf at this stage.
If your child already has a 'physical tool' due to an identified special educational need, this should have already been agreed by me in my capacity as SENCO.
Of course, having your own strategies/tools at home, if you are following the recommended activities as set out in the Concept letters is absolutely fine. However, you may wish to wait for your child to come later next week and tell you the strategies/tools we have agreed in their class. That way, you may be able to better support continuity between home & school. I hope this helps for now and that I have been clear about our expectations.

Children in Need: Big Bear Coin Drop! Friday 14th November
Most of you will know the drill by now: any loose change, parents; feel free to place it on Pudsey’s face if you’re coming in for the Celebratory Assembly/Morpurgo Class Assembly on Friday 14th November from 9am.
If you can’t make it, feel free to give some change to your child and they can drop it off at break time.
Christmas Performance
Thursday 18th December. Doors open at 1pm.
Parents, look out for the Microsoft Form next week to name your two attendees per Family. Do not complete the form twice/attempt to book more places as these will not be accepted.
If there are any additional seats, these will subsequently be offered on a firstcome, first-served basis in a second wave – details/the procedure for this will follow after the initial booking phase.
Bryon Highlights:
In Bryon Class, children have been learning about similar shades of different colours. We have learned that colours can be warm or cool. We've enjoyed sorting objects around the classroom by their shade.
Yarlett Highlights:
It’s been a pleasure to join Earith Primary, and especially, get to know the children in Yarlett Class this week. I’ve been really impressed with the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm around our History topic of past & present. Additionally, learning your school’s core values and seeing the children in Yarlett class, not only talk about them, but exhibit them, too – this has certainly been a highlight this week.
Blabey Highlights:
This week in Blabey Class, we have enjoyed reading the opening chapters of Charlotte's Webmeeting Wilbur the Pig and seeing him grow up. In History, we have learned about the importance of the Nile to Ancient Egyptian culture and drew some beautiful maps of the Black Lands in Egypt.
Morpurgo Highlights:
This week in our Zones of Regulation lesson, the children have engaged in some excellent discussions. They have shown a good understanding of how to recognise their emotions and notice the body signals that tell them what zone they are in. We have also explored the idea of sparks and triggers (the things that can change how we feel) and the children have been really reflective in identifying their own. It has been fantastic to see them beginning to use this understanding to manage their emotions and make positive choices throughout the day.
