St. Clement’s 1:1 Mentoring – Parent Voice

Just some feedback on the extra friendship sessions that were being conducted with my children.  I have found that this is really helped them in terms of social skills, how to develop and maintain a friendship properly in school time.  The activities completed in the session hake them think about how to behave and deal with situations and more importantly think before acting!

Thanks, Mum

*******************

My child has had mentoring sessions to cover how to interact with others both at home and in school.  They have helped with behaviour at home and interactions with her younger sibling. It has helped in school as well as in the classroom she is calmer, and allows the teacher time to deal with arising situations.

*******************

1:1 sessions have helped improve our child’s overall attitude towards others especially at home.  We are thankful for the time spent talking with her and giving her techniques that seem to be helping.

Jigsaw – Year 2

Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
Circle time with Jigsaw Jo in a circle. Jigsaw Jo is holding s feely bag (the bag contains: pebbles, sandpaper, play doh, pine cone and a plastic dinosaur toy). Asked a child to come and feel an object and asked them to describe it e.g smooth, rough, spiky, soft etc., and asked them to say whether they like the feel or not. Then I asked a few other children to do the same and asked them how it feels to the person holding it. Made the point that we may or may not like the feel of something and it is good to be able to say what we think.

Shared the picture cards with children: baby lying down, a baby crawling, a toddler walking, a five year old running, a ten year old skipping. In groups, I asked the children to place them in sequence. I reinforced the learning that as we physically grow we also do more things.
On Flipchart, I drew the stem and on centre of a flower. Added one petal and stick the first picture (baby) into it. Drew the second petal and asked the children which picture should go in next (baby crawling). Continued until the flower is complete, helping children to understand that every time we learn something new we add a little bit onto ourselves, like adding a petal to a flower.

Working in groups of four the children agreed on four changes they are looking forward to when they go to year 5. On their spinning top cube template, they wrote changes on the four sides of the cube. This was then cut out and made into a spinning top using a pencil as the spindle.
