School visits (to resume when the corona crisis is over)

These books  are designed to help support emotional literacy, and can be used as a tool to encourage children to talk about feelings.
​The content fits with the PSHE learning objectives:
​

• Supporting children to recognise a range of emotions in themselves and others.
• Supporting children to use a range of different words to describe feelings.
• Supporting children to talk about the feelings people experience in different situations.

'The children really enjoyed your visit, they were especially excited about having a real-life author in school. It was great that the session gave the children the opportunity to think about the different emotions of the characters in the poems, as identifying emotions has been the focus for our PSHE lessons this term.' 
​Niamh Lawton Year 1 class teacher

'​Thank you very much for coming to share your poems with the class.  The children really enjoyed listening to the poems and I thought the subjects were very relatable for them. They particularly enjoyed the poem 'The Sea' as this reminded them of holidays'

​'The children had completed a special week about feelings the week before, so Jane coming in to share her lovely book couldn’t have been timed any better.  The children enjoyed exploring different feelings through Jane’s poetry and it helped them understand their feelings more readily.  We share the poems regularly now during story time.'

'The children thoroughly enjoyed the visit and it was great to see them talking about and describing emotions in different contexts. The poems were very engaging and the children could relate them to their on personal experiences, which made it easy for them to understand.'
