Journey on the emotional wheel

Based on Pulchick's Emotional Wheel, this exploratory session is for gifted youngsters aged 4-8.  It is dynamic, with lots of movement and sound.  It is designed to encourage reflection and curiosity within a safe and structured space around feelings.

We'll start by identifying the main characters at play in our emotional field.  We'll draw them, name them, we'll give them a voice and we'll make a movement for them.

We'll then look at the backup singers and those in the chorus, we'll draw them and we'll give them some music to groove too.

We'll touch on the idea that there are far more emotions and feelings than we have words for.  That these emotions all have unique sensations that accompany them, and they have thoughts that go with them too.

From this place, we'll gently consider what it might be like to not have any feelings at all.

Finally, we'll look at the ways that our feelings come out of us and what we like to do for different feelings.
