Print and cut out the appropriate potion bottle and put that on the wall. Sit the children in a circle and give them a prompt such as: What triggers this emotion? So you are looking for anything that causes this emotion. For anger it might be ‘someone calling you a name’ for jealousy it might be ‘someone getting a new pair of trainers’, and so on. What physical effects does this emotion cause? So you are looking for any physical effects linking to that emotion. For anger it might be ‘fast heartbeat’, for anxiety it might be ‘trembling or shaking’ and so on. What might you be thinking when you feel this emotion? So you are looking for thoughts associated with this emotion. So for anger it might be ‘He is looking at me in a funny way!’ and for sadness it might be ‘I have no friends’. And so on. What coping strategies do you have when you feel this emotion? So you are looking for anything that helps a child cope with this emotion. Obviously this is more linked to the negative emotions. For anger it might be ‘Do my breathing exercises’, for sadness it might be ‘go and talk to an adult’. What other words do you know that mean the same or similar to this emotion? So for anger you are looking for words such as ‘mad, irate, furious, livid’, and so on. When you have discussed this in detail during circle time you can then give them the worksheet to match the one on display. Use their ideas to create your display on the wall. Cut out the appropriate sized droplet and write in black marker. Stick this above the potion bottle to look like it is falling into the bottle or you could have them going the other way to show they are coming out of the bottle. Entirely your choice. Repeat this in the next session with another emotion. You can obviously use this pack anyway you like and the ideas are endless. You could print out all the emotion potion bottles and make a display with all of them.

Children’s Mental Health Week is from 4th to the 10th February 2019 and the topic is Healthy: inside and out. There are 104 question cards entitled ‘Looking after YOU’ covering physical, social, mental and emotional wellbeing. These cards are brilliant for a warm up before starting your session or could be used as a teaching or discussion point.

The main purpose was for the child to identify different levels of anger. So for example, some things might annoy you, some things make you mad and some things make you furious. I chose just those three to make it as simple as possible. The members of the group came up with all these real life scenarios which I have put together as cards. I also included a sorting sheet. Obviously what makes one child mad might be just annoying for another child. What makes one child furious might make another child mad. You need to go through the scenarios with the child and find out their levels of anger. Each child would be unique in how they would react to each situation. Target would be – To identify different levels of anger

This intervention is written for a group of four children and is led by an ELSA or teaching assistant. It covers emotions, relaxation and lessons around making changes and setting targets for the new year. It runs for approximately 40 minutes. Children will work together in a group which will give them a sense of belonging. This helps to raise self-esteem. All my interventions follow a similar structure: Welcome and emotional register– welcome the children to the group, go over the circle time rules and talk about how they feel today. Warm up – children really respond better if they have had chance to warm up and feel at ease by playing a game or activity. This may or may not be related to the learning objective. Activity – this is where the children work on the learning objective. Relaxation/Mindfulness – Children are more ready to go back to class if they are relaxed and calm. Review of the session – Children talk about their learning experience and perhaps fill in a pupil feedback form on the session. The paper resources for this intervention come in booklet form. Make one up to show the children at the start of your intervention but don’t make their booklets up straight away. Some weeks has a challenge for them to take away with them. Make their booklets up for their last session so they can take them away as a reminder. You can collect any evidence you require each week up to that point. There are no assessments for this intervention. Learning objectives are: I can tell you about some of my happiest memories last year I can tell you about some of my proudest moments last year I can tell you about some things that I want to get better at next year I can tell you about some habits I want to change. I can make a New Year resolution for something I want to get better at I can make a New Year resolution for something I want to stop doing
