A new playground poster from Opening Young Minds that emphasises the role of community in school. The concept encourages children to think of the "we" rather than just the "I" and highlights the idea that EVERYONE has a role to play to create a positive and harmonious culture.

“The best way to deal with a bully is to punch them in the face.”
Here are some ideas on how to tackle this misconception that still lurks in schools and actually give children the skills to stand up to bullies in a resilient way.

Do children really understand the impact of bullying? This lesson shines a spotlight on the harm that bullying causes - pitched for lower key stage 2 children. Lesson 2 out of the 5 that we are sharing for anti-bullying week.

We spend so much time referring to it in schools, and teachers expect their class to do it but do we ever truly teach children how to learn from their mistakes? Here are some thoughts on how to build a culture where children take responsibility for their actions.

@DeputyGrocott Good morning, all.
Creator of Let's Talk - a new PSHE curriculum that teaches the tools to build resilience, boost wellbeing and develop positive relationships. Below is an example lesson for year 6 on catastrophizing. Have a great Wednesday. #FFBWednesday

[Sam Clark @open_youngminds]

@teacher2teacher Teach explicit lessons unpicking mistakes from EYFS (see video) to Y6 where key knowledge is taught - emotions triggered by mistakes, benefits of taking responsibility, managing escape thoughts etc. Spotting resilience to mistakes in school embeds a positive culture to mistakes.

[Sam Clark @open_youngminds]

*****New Blog ******
This week we introduce PSHE Application Cards and their power to improve learning behaviour across the school. Please post your thoughts and tips for any new cards that you think would make an impact.

[Sam Clark @open_youngminds]

How do you encourage the application of positive learning behaviour throughout the school day?
PSHE application cards might not be the absolute answer but they definitely help.
Get in touch if you would like some more information on this new product from Let’s Talk.

[Sam Clark @open_youngminds]

@teacher2teacher Explain the why behind collaboration, teach the skills (active listening, positive communication, press pause when triggered) and highlight possible pitfalls before the task.
It is then encouraging reflection on why a group failed and learning from those challenges.
