“We have loved using this kit. It has been a real catalyst for thoughtful and respectively discussion within our classroom. The students in my class have taken ownership and adapted the wall display to suit our room and the needs of our kids. It’s an incredible resource that we are going to continue to use next term as well. Thank you!”
“A great resource to use in the classroom. In collaboration with my colleagues at the Year 6 level we had identified that many students across the level needed work on resilience and gaining more strategies to help them bounce back in tricky situations.
Students really enjoyed the daily check-in and exploring the journal. The plan is to continue using the charging station throughout the rest of the year.
With many boys not wanting to confess things in front of others, the tokens allowed for a discreet way of sharing that something was bothering them and that they needed help.”
“Kit provided a platform for deeper discussions about emotions and wellbeing. Looking forward to linking this learning with our health units in Term 3. Provided students vocabulary and systems to communicate their points of view and emotions.”
“Really loved parts of this kit. We use the check in box with tokens twice a day (after breaks), we have reviewed all of the strategies and they are displayed in our classroom, along with the spot to stand on, but I don't know how much the students actually use this on a daily basis. At least its there for them to refer to, along with other displays that I have made around this. I would repeat some of this kit again. Thanks for the great resources.”
“Was great to see students considering different perspectives and building confidence in themselves. Students really enjoyed being creative and filling in the information booklets about the portrait that spoke to them. This meant they were careful and thought before filling out their own later that week.”
“A really useful kit! Some of the activities took a long time... and were difficult to see the point of it. Students were pretty over it by the time we got through it... I think that we could have changed the way we delivered it to be fair.
Having all of the resources there was fab. We have just set up the self charge station and looking forward to seeing how that goes.
We have decided once students are familiar with the wall they will create their own cards that have a direct response to their feelings.”
