Calm Corner Bunting

Use this display bunting to show the children and other adults where the designated calm space is for
all children to access.

What is a calm corner?
A calm corner is a chosen space within your classroom. The purpose of a calm corner is to help encourage self-regulation while keeping children in the classroom. Calm corners are not a place to send distressed children as a consequence. It should be a place the child chooses to go to feel better. Calm corners are private enough to allow the student some quiet time while still being within eyesight of an adult so they know they are safe.

Setting up the calm corner:
In a classroom, a small, quiet space away from the rest of the room is ideal. You can make this area comfortable with soft furnishing like beanbags and pillows (please take government guidance into consideration when reading these suggestions). A small table is also ideal to lay out some useful resources. Adding a covering (roof) and peaceful lighting is also a nice way to make the calm corner feeling more comforting.

Using the calm corner:
Teachers need to introduce and model the use of the calm corner. Let the children know it is not for children who are “in trouble”. It is a space for everyone. As the year goes on, only the children who really need it will go into that area. Typically, after 5-10 minutes in the calm corner, children might be ready to join back in with the class.

Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.

The Regulation Collection

**The entire regulation collection to download:** BUYING THIS BUNDLE SAVES 33% - Resilience cards - Transition arrows - Body mapping cards with recovery map - Entrance check in - FREE Breathing exercises - FREE Emotions fan - FREE Calm corner bunting - FREE List of fiddle tools Self-Regulation is the ability to recognise and manage emotions and resulting behaviors in different settings and activities. Children who learn to self-regulate their emotions can make friends more easily, relate more successfully with peers and adults, cope with disappointment better and are less impulsive. Within the classroom, if a child can self-regulate more effectively they are less likely to show signs of distressed behaviour. We have created this resource collection to help teach self-regulation within your classroom. Across the collection we have used a child friendly font that is suitable for all children and young people within education. In our own classrooms, we teach writing in precursive font, however we knew this inclusion collection would be to support emotional literacy rather than writing, so we stuck to a print font to make it more visually accessible for everyone. Some of these resources have been in the making for over 2 years! Olivia started creating these resources when working down south in her Year 2 class. She started sharing pictures of her hand drawn regulation resources on her Instagram account back in 2019! Since then, the resources have been adapted as more research came out and as her professional development grew. Now with Lisa, the resources have been made to a higher, digital quality making them more accessible for teachers to print for the whole class, particular children, send home to parents, give copies to 1:1 teachers, etc. Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.
