9:00 – 9:30 ZONES – Lesson 1
Explain to students that we will be introducing a new program into the classroom that focuses on emotions. Show students the board where the posters will be placed.
Explain that feelings can be divided into 4 main sections, down, ready to learn, heightened and alert. Provide examples for each category. Ask students if they understand and if they can provide more examples for each category.
One at a time students draw a card with a feeling. They make the expression and students get two guesses. Student suggests where this feeling should go, blue, red, green or yellow. The call agrees or makes another suggestion. Student glues this onto the correct poster. Complete until all cards are glued on. Ask students what colour they are on at the moment. Discuss with students what happens if they are on red, or blue, what happens if they place themselves on red but are not actually feeling those emotions.
Ask students to suggest why this could be a good thing to use in the classroom. Hand out cards to students who can create one for themselves. They are to include their name. This is to be laminated.

Demonstrate on the board how to draw a pattern that has two lines of symmetry. Using graph paper students draw a symmetrical pattern with two lines of symmetry. They must start with a lead pencil cross to ensure the lines are symmetrical. They then colour this in. They must use rulers.
