The students of the 3rd grade noted down the snacks they ate during the week at school. Then they made a bar graph in class with the type of food they preferred and, after a conversation on healthy nutrition, they realized what kind of snack they should bring to school.
A great activity presented to us in St. Nickolas Claccagh National School in Galway.
In the context of mental health, fifth grade students wrote their own poems, poems about an emotion they are feeling. The instructions were simple:
What colour is the emotion?
What does it taste like?
What does it smell like?
What does it look like?
What does it sound like?
What does it feel like?
It was a great activity during which the children created wonderful poems, decorated them with drawings and expressed their feelings in the most beautiful way.
