WIMS School Supports
Our new ‘WIMS School Supports’ series provides sets of presentations and lesson plans designed for teachers to use in the classroom to support students with transitioning back to school under the unusual and challenging circumstances of 2020.
Teachers can now download and use the classroom presentation, which is accompanied by a handout for students, and includes activities and discussion points.
The first set of the series focuses on dealing with change, and empowers students to develop coping skills and prepare for times of transition and adjustment. After the presentation, students will be able to understand the impact of change and develop ways to cope with it. From start to finish, it takes approximately 30 minutes, although additional time may be given for students to take part in the discussion point. We recommend that teachers bear their students’ personalities and circumstances in mind when using the discussion point and activity accompanying the presentation.
Dealing with Change
Worry Lorry
At times such as the coronavirus outbreak, we can all feel more anxious than usual – but there are things that we can all do to help reduce that anxiety too, like taking a few minutes for our new Worry Lorry activity. To get started, you’ll need to download and print the activity sheet. Then, write down the things that make you worried or play on your mind on the lorry. Think about the things that make you feel good and help your worries to disappear, and then share them with the second lorry driver below. Focus on these positive things as you colour in the rest of the sheet, and notice how your worries are driven away!
