“The Respectful Relationships kit was exactly what my class needed. It connected well to my year 3/4 class and I could integrate it throughout my week eg using the kindness letters at writing time, singing Minoi Minoi for Samoa Language week. It's exciting getting a kit with cool little resources - it's like Christmas for me and my class. A great reason to use them! This is something I can use and build on in future years.”

How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? Our kids really responded to the initial story and exercise on the big poster. They could empathize with the characters and how they would feel when being (seemingly) excluded from a game and then how it would feel to actively get invited to join in.

“This kit has had a wonderful impact in the classroom. The children are able to identify activities or things that make then feel good or in the green zone. The Playlunch is a huge hit and I can't imagine a classroom without it. Next term we will be focusing on developing further understanding of the Class Battery and how we can charge ourselves up. The main outcome has been about all children learning what it means to play with other people and they have been slowly developing skills to do this with everyone, rather than just their friends. (Super great) We really enjoyed the story and the kids related to this situation really well, made good links to the Zones of Regulation if this is in your classrooms - it is an easy piece to add.”
