The sounds of a busy playground can be heard as we see the edge of the playground with some steps to the main school.

Familiar feelings!

Aria comes over to the ball on the floor looking happy.

You look excited and happy. Does it make you want to cheer and shout?

A thought bubble appears above Aria’s head where she kicks the ball and it sails in to a corner of a goal.

Of course, because you scored a brilliant goal and want to celebrate.

Josh appears and looks sad.

Oh dear, you look annoyed and sad.

A thought bubble appears above Josh’s head where we see Josh didn’t save the goal.

Right, so you couldn’t save the goal, so your team lost. And that hurt your feelings.

Josh slumps down on to the steps.

That game you played together, felt different for both of you.

Some small events can still give you huge feelings and those feelings can change how we act.

Aria moves over to Josh and pops a hand on his shoulder. Josh picks up his head and looks comforted.

Just look over there.

Jasper is in the playground, trying to tie his shoelaces.

�ճ���’r�� frustrated because they can’t tie their shoelaces. It’s making them feel upset and angry.

Jasper keeps looping his laces around but it falls from his hand.

But now they are being helped by their thoughtful friends. They feel calm and relaxed.

If we find out what causes our feelings, we can learn to understand our emotions… and each other.
