How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The activities were very good in starting conversations and developing an undestanding in different aspects of self confidence. We than used this as a jumping off point for further activities and discussions in our class inquiry about ourselves.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? We have our own wellbeing board set up in class to help rate communicate how we are feeling. I would use the board to check in with students throughout the day. I really liked the fact that the kit gave kids options on what to do

“It was fantastic and exactly what our kids needed. They were super intrested in the resources I put up... as it took us at least a week before we began. They kept wanting to know more and more about it. Lots of our kids struggle with resilience and this kit helped teach them tools to help with that. The students found the activities to boost others especially fun and our kids with difficulties found the calm down tools really helpful to self regulate behaviour and communicate with the teacher about how they were feeling.”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? It will be! Watch this space in Term 2 :) Also showed it to an RTLB who was so impressed and was going to contact you to see if she is able to obtain a resource for her RTLB work.

“Amazing resource. In a Y3/4 class it would have been better to use it later in the year, as the first 6 weeks of term 1 were all about routine setting - We started the workbook and talked a LOT about growth mindset, resilience but the kit was a little too high level for my class. We had a corner of our room set up for the recharge station, which I was really looking forward to using in Term 2, however then the lockdown started so we haven't got to it yet. I suspect it will be even more important when we eventually meet together back at school, as the children may have experienced different types of anxiety before/during/after the lockdown time. I plan to use the daily check-in when we get back (the buttons) but in a visual way - moving towards self-management if the children arrive at school needing support to 'reset' and feel ready for learning. We are lucky to have a 'quiet room' which is where our recharge station will be, and I will select age appropriate activities to go in the envelopes for my younger children.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Encouraging children to reflect on their feelings and how to help themselves as well as others.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Sharing of their ideas and emotions with a buddy, in small groups and with the whole class. Great discussion ideas.

“Just started with it two weeks before lockdown. Children began interacting with the coupons and reflecting on their feeling each morning before school, reading the affirmations on the green and yellow cards and starting to act on them. They also started on their individual journals. They and I loved the idea of the recharge station. I thought it was a great way to monitor all children's feelings and emotional state and supported our other school-wide programmes nicely! I was hoping to pick it up when we go back to school but will see what happens about that??? Very good planning format and ideas.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? They found it interesting when other tamariki had the same whakaaro/thoughts about what makes them nervous or unsure. The most powerful message that my tamariki gained from this activity was the messages and comments from their Whānau members and myself.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? We go over these topics at the beginning of every year anyway, however this kit really helped to go deeper into self confidence and resilience. I will be using this kit each year to build self confidence as a collective.

“This Kit was really powerful to start the school year. We followed the process step by step. The tamariki loved receiving letters from Whānau members some even had a little tears in their eyes. Then when we moved onto 'your more beautiful than you think' We unpacked it a bit more by looking into the Medias influence on our image. We also identified the 9 pro social beahaviours under the titles Self Confidence, Self Care, Self Awareness, Self Beliefs and Self Respect. We were only just beginning to unpack the charging station the week of lockdown. When we get back to Kura I will demostrate how to use the station and we can discuss feelings and emotions around the isolation period and how social interaction with others is really important.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? It's given them a chance to talk about being different and special. Allowed them to celebrate what makes them great.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Gives our discussion purpose but also takes away some of the strain around talking about feelings, struggles and challenges etc.

“The kit has been great so far, although we have only started setting up before lockdown, the kids were engaged with the digital material and enjoyed setting up the display. Having the display up enabled us to have many interesting conversations and lots of the kids were talking about how they feel.”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The students really loved the tokens and being able to let me know in a quick way how they were feeling. This resulted in some very useful and powerful discussions where they felt heard, and helped me build a stronger relationship with them.

“Loved this kit and all it stood for. The students really engaged with the idea of looking after their wellbeing and mental health, and also doing things to support their peers.”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? I really appreciated the charging station feedback via the tokens - the children hadn't established using the cards - that was our next step. Getting them to self manage that aspect.

“My kids loved this kit. We had only really begun to get into it more deeply before Lockdown put a halt to everything. We had a great routine of using the tokens and it was great to get an insight into how the kids were feeling right from the beginning of the day.”
