Simply summarise the week’s story and snip the images from the weekly powerpoint to add to the template - see example on page 2. Print and add notes/ post it notes to during your class discussion.

The cards feature emotion trees showcasing groups of words for each emotion. EYFS cards - add your own character or image on top of the coloured auras - we use the colour monster images KS1 and KS2 - you can just use the cards with the emotion sign posts or you can add your own characters or images at the bottom of each tree. We used the characters from Inside Out. See instagram page for preview of how we have added images to the cards.

This is a link to the Canva template so you can fully edit the cards. They do not feature the inside out characters due to copyright but you can copy and paste your own images in - there is a free download of the character images on my TES - alternatively you can use any images you like or any you find in canva. The emotion vocab cards - which are large versions of the emotion trees - are also available on my TES and work well with these cards. I had these printed and made them into key rings and had them enlarged for our playground wall - my instagram shares more info!

There are 5 food and 5 fitness activity challenges. 1 card to be sent home each week. Children/ parents have a recording sheet to tick off which challenges they complete. We ask for photos to be shared with us via seesaw - you could do what suits your school! We collate these into a floor book as part of our personal development/ mental wellbeing evidence. If children complete 5 or more of the 10 challenges before the deadline they are entered into a prize draw to win a little hamper - your prize would be up to you!
