Difficulity in controlling anger

First we discussed with the students how to control anger. Then the students were divided in to small groups and they were given a task to think of situations which cause anger and we discussed ways to stay calm in each situation. Once we were finished I showed images of photo manipulation which makes chosen items in the picture look smaller or larger. Then the groups tried to create pictures in which anger was presented as small and the person in the picture was trying to get rid of the feeling.

Subtopic of Aggression

Pupils from the 6th grade worked on the subject 'aggression' during the art lessons. They expressed different emotions through faces made of playdough. One half of the face is aggressive and the other half positive.  

Fourth grade pupils also made art. The topic was to draw a face looking like you're really angry or aggressive. “Does this guy look like he wants to play with you? Would you like to play with him? What can you do if you feel like this?” Many questions were asked when we did these drawings. 

First grade pupils talked about aggression and made signs as a reminder that it's not accepted.

6th grade performing arts course also participated. They focused on how to prevent aggressive behaviour at school.

Erasmus+ day

Couple weeks ago we had an Erasmus themed day here in Lempoinen. The participating students had organized various events related to each country involved in the on-going project, for example quizzes and dances. The workshops were open to every single student ranging from age 5 to age 12 so that produced a certain challenge, but we did a wonderful job. Please enjoy these photos:

The trip to Hungary was truely awesome. We all got to experience new things and learnt a lot about ourselves and other cultures. But as you probably know, one picture tells more than a thousand words, so here we go:
