Autumn 1999 - Reception

We read the story of Angry Arthur and during the following discussion talked about anger and how it made us feel.

The learning objective was to write a class poem to express how anger made us feel. Child D was suffering severe emotional trauma from a domestic situation over which he had no influence or control. He found it very difficult to articulate how he felt but with the support, sensitivity and creativity of all the other children in the class he was able to play a major part in achieving the objective. I have written their poem below:

Hair messy, hot, sticky
Eyes red and dark and crying
Brows go down, feet stamping
Face red, my teeth snapping
Hands squeezing making fists
Tummy aching, rumbling, hurting
Feeling sick I feel horrible when I'm angry.
