Back to School: Well–Being Journal As we prepare for the return to school in September, after the Covid pandemic, I feel that the well-being of children will be really important. I have created this journal to use with my class. I will be using this alongside my well- being activities which can also be purchased in my store. This Journal is made up of 25 pages. These include: • All About Me • Mindfulness Exercise Reflection Sheets • Thinking Outside the Box Drawing Activities. • Doodling Spaces • Amazing Me • My Goals • My Worries • Feelings • Friends • What Makes Me Happy? • What Am I grateful For? I am planning on using this during the first two weeks back and will be using the pages as a starting point to completed other mindfulness activities and talk about our feelings, worries and concerns linked to the return to school. I hope you find this useful and that the return to school for you and your pupils is a safe one.

End of Year Memories Freebie! It’s the time of year again! Children have reached the end of another year and its time to stop and take a look back. Three different sheets to help children review their year. I hope find these as useful as I have. In previous years, we have completed them in class, this year I have attached them to SeeSaw for the children to complete. In my school, the children are also using these in the end of year zoom assembly.

**Substitute Teacher Information Pack. ** At the end of February, I found myself subbing for a couple of days before starting a longer maternity contract. When I arrived at the school, I was shown the classroom and told if I had any questions I would ask the principal/head. I said that was fine and within about 10 minutes I had several questions but no idea where to find the principal/head. So I decided to create this booklet on all the information that I think it would be helpful to have or give to a covering teacher. The document is saved as a PowerPoint so that you can edit it and add your own information. I have included some pages in different styles and formats so you can choose what is helpful for your own class. This pack contains the following pages: Cover Page A Note From The Teacher Information at a Glance Key People & Information Important Places Class Timetable Class Information Cover Sheet (Same Design as Front Cover) Class List Learning Support & SNA Information X3 Interventions & Exceptions Medical Needs & Allergies X2 Class Routines & Procedures Cover Sheet (Same Design as Front Cover) Routines & Procedures - 3 Pages With The Following Headings: Fire Drill & Emergency Drill Start & End of Day Routine Roll Call/ Morning & Afternoon Register Marking Toilet Routine Class Helpers & Special Helpers Homework Assemblies Break & Lunch Duties Behaviour Management in our Class Table Plans Groupings for Different Subjects. End of Day Collection. Filler Activities. (Blank Page with header to allow you to add your own) Early Finisher Activities.

**Physical Activity Cards (Exercise Cards) ** There are 24 different exercise that get students moving, stretching and warmed up. **How I Have Used them: ** • In a PE lesson. Children working in groups, each groups has a set of cards and they pick out a selection of the cards. Then the children complete that at the activity for a certain amount of time 30 seconds and minutes and then take a rest before moving to the next one. • Movement breaks (SEN Settings, ADHD Children) • Brain breaks • Break or Lunchtime Activity • Create your own obstacle course • Active week If you laminate these cards, please do take care if they are on the hall floor as they can become slippy. I usually put a bit of blue tac on them.
