New Year, New ME! Social and emotional planning

New Year, New ME! Social and emotional planning

(0)
This intervention is written for a group of four children and is led by an ELSA or teaching assistant. It covers emotions, relaxation and lessons around making changes and setting targets for the new year. It runs for approximately 40 minutes. Children will work together in a group which will give them a sense of belonging. This helps to raise self-esteem. All my interventions follow a similar structure: Welcome and emotional register– welcome the children to the group, go over the circle time rules and talk about how they feel today. Warm up – children really respond better if they have had chance to warm up and feel at ease by playing a game or activity. This may or may not be related to the learning objective. Activity – this is where the children work on the learning objective. Relaxation/Mindfulness – Children are more ready to go back to class if they are relaxed and calm. Review of the session – Children talk about their learning experience and perhaps fill in a pupil feedback form on the session. The paper resources for this intervention come in booklet form. Make one up to show the children at the start of your intervention but don’t make their booklets up straight away. Some weeks has a challenge for them to take away with them. Make their booklets up for their last session so they can take them away as a reminder. You can collect any evidence you require each week up to that point. There are no assessments for this intervention. Learning objectives are: I can tell you about some of my happiest memories last year I can tell you about some of my proudest moments last year I can tell you about some things that I want to get better at next year I can tell you about some habits I want to change. I can make a New Year resolution for something I want to get better at I can make a New Year resolution for something I want to stop doing

Healing Steps - Grief Intervention for bereavement

(0)
This Healing Steps Grief intervention covers six sessions and is written for a ‘Grief Group’ but also including planning for delivering to one child. This intervention is written for a group of four pupils (but there is planning for one to one working) and is led by an ELSA or teaching assistant. It covers emotions, relaxation and support around grief. This is an ‘activity’ based intervention and the stages of grief are not covered. It is meant for pupils to support each other and take part in activities to allow them to share their feelings and make themselves feel more able to cope. The pupils will take one step at a time and heal a little bit along the way. Animals will also be covered in this intervention because quite often the first loss a pupil experiences is a pet. Pupils will work together in a group which will give them a sense of belonging. It will also help them support each other. Sometimes it is easier to deal with your grief if you know that others are also experiencing similar feelings to you. The sessions will last for approximately one hour. All my interventions follow a similar structure: Welcome and emotional register– welcome the pupils to the group, go over the circle time rules and talk about how they feel today. Warm up – pupils really respond better if they have had chance to warm up and feel at ease by playing a game or activity. Activity – this is where the pupils work on the learning objective. Relaxation/Mindfulness – pupils are more ready to go back to class if they are relaxed and calm. Review of the session – pupils talk about their learning experience and colour in the appropriate ‘step’ at the back of their booklets. There might also be something to find out for next time or something to think about or do. The paper resources come in booklet form. There are also some additional templates and you will need some bubbles for each child, drinking straws and water or juice, whiteboard, colouring pencils, scissors and glue. Included in the pack: Group planning for six sessions Individual planning for six sessions Pupil Memory Booklet Pocket template Flower template Memory cube and accompanying sheet Relaxation cube and accompanying script Circle time rules Memory Questions Self care prompts Emotion fans Feelings of Loss poster

Grab yourself a lovely little set of emotion fans. These will appeal to young children especially if they like unicorns! Learning about emotions should start as soon as children begin to speak and even before. As an adult or parent this should be modeled to children constantly because they do learn from you. Explain to the child that they feel sad because … and explain why they might be feeling sad. Show children that emotions come and go all the time. Show them how you deal with your emotions so they are set a good example.

This is a huge pack of resources for children to learn how to rid themselves of negative thoughts through mindfulness type exercises. There are 3 zipped files included in the download due to the size of the resource. The children are asked to think about an animal, then to stop thinking about the animal. This will demonstrate how it is difficult to stop thinking about something just by telling yourself not to think about it. They are then asked to do an exercise to demonstrate how that will rid them of the animal. If the animal comes back they do the exercise again. There are: 24 A5 cards to print 24 Powerpoint shows for each exercise 24 PDFs of the Powerpoint shows Supporting worksheets – 3 main sheets but offered with colour, black and white, with and without lines.
