KS3 AP enjoyed our sensory session this week, exploring how different songs can bring out different emotions and how music can affect the way we feel. 🎶😊😌 We ended the session by practising breathing techniques through bubbles, helping us relax and regulate our emotions. 🫧💙

3/8 Firstly, look for the Why, not just the What. Effective evidence use isn't just about following a recipe. It's about understanding the underlying principle. If a study says feedback works, we need to ask: Why did it work in this context? Was it the timing? The tone? The task?
