“This kit has so many great ideas and resources for developing and strengthening relationships within a class. We have used it in my Year 3 class to recognise our individual strengths/ talents and recognise our different ways of responding and reacting to situations. It has been heartening to see my students supporting each other both in and out of the classroom and having the language to do so.”

“It had lots of good ideas for whole class activities and games which are always so much more effective when younger children are aquiring a new skill.
