Emotions

Emotions are very hard to understand.  Today we drew our on emoji faces to describe some of the emotions that we feel or have seen.


FIE activities

We are looking at different activities and how we still use our cognitive functions when we do every day things.

Today we had to describe a drawing to some one else without them seeing - being very accurate and precise with our words and using relevant details.  There were some very accurate attempts, well done!
