How have the components of Respectul Relationships helped develop your student's understanding of what a respectful relationship is? The kit was very interactive and my year 2 class really were able to understand trickier ideas that even as adults we aren’t always able to grasp. So adding the element of fun and story telling with a goal focussed end result really helped.

How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? Most children in my class had barely been to school until this year and it was so refreshing to see them come out of their covid shells and develop relationships they often used to be wary of.

“My class absolutely loved this unit and really gained a great understanding of how we can help others and develop strong relationships with people around us that we wouldn’t necessarily engage with. I also found my class began to understand how good healthy relationships underpin and guide great learning and fun. My children really put into action all the things respectful relationships kit offered and it was a great way to begin the year.”

How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? The way we used the kit initiated a lot of discussion and oral language skills which students need support with after Covid.

“We enjoyed implementing the Respectful Relationships resources into our space. We utilised the class battery, the charge up stations, initiated class discussion after reading the story, and group storytelling sessions using the picture prompt cards. We also introduced and practiced the breathing exercises and have visual reminders and instructions for these in our classroom. The students were engaged in these activities and continue to refer to the tools in the classroom. It would be useful if the resources were organised and structured as a lesson, rather than separate tools on their own as it meant we needed to spend a lot of time figuring out what the tools were and how best to use them in our space. We work in a modern learning environment so we needed to adapt the tools a lot in order for them to make sense in our space.”

“What a great kit. My Year 0/1 class got into sitting with a different person every morning tea. I have seen them bonding as a class and being a very caring group of little people. Our school has implemented the Zones of Regulation and this kit was a great introduction to this topic. They loved the booklets and swapping the stickers, marking how they feel on the battery. Having these visual activities have supported their learning about having good relationships with the people close to you including peers.”

How has the kit helped to develop prosocial behaviours? There were quite a few quiet children who didn't know how to make friends in my class and children who always stayed with the same group. This kit has helped everyone play with someone new. Over a period of time, everyone felt included. l

“Room 5 really enjoyed using the booklets, exchanging coloured stickers and rating how they were feeling throughout the day. I noticed that they started to play with a range of people that they would not normally have played with. Our mate was used for resetting our behaviour and this was used independently.”
