How relevant has this kit been with maintaining/establishing/reestablishing classroom relationships during Covid? We use the circle time model in our classroom and this tied in really nicely with that. It had great cross over concepts and the children were able to really see how we can have respectful relationships.

“The Respectful Relationships kit has once again been a huge hit in my class. The children particularly love the Playlunch project which encourages and builds strong relationships within the class. They also love charging our class battery every day. The kit is very user friendly and was a great kit to use, especially coming back after 2021 school lockdowns.”

How has the kit helped to develop prosocial behaviours? Relationship problem solving skills have improved overall-negotiating and compromising, listening to others ideas. Those who struggled to make new friends are happily playing with many different children. They are definitely more respectful to each other.

“Some nice resources in the kit but many impractical for my year group as they aren't able to read the instructions themselves - e.g. the dice. My learners love the battery and I wrote their names on the magnet spots so they could move it throughout the day to show how they're feeling - this has opened up some interesting conversations about how emotions change. I wasn't a fan of the poem or song - it wasn't easy to sing along to. The sticker book was a big hit but quite time consuming to set up but has started to get them playing with other children.”
