Neuroscience!

Recently, we have been learning about our brain and how it works. We have learnt that when the part of the brain that controls our emotions takes over then it can become difficult for us to make sensible decisions. We discussed ways in which we could help our brains to work effectively again through the use of some mindful activities.

We used this model of a house to get the children to understand the different parts of the brain. When the downstairs brain takes over then we can flip our lid and we then find thinking clearly difficult.
