Wellbeing is an area that is at the forefront of many discussions around education currently. There are multiple angles that can be taken when discussing wellbeing, but as educators in primary settings, it is a big part of our role to consider the wellbeing of the children in our care as we are teaching them. There are often challenges in the classroom when children haven’t had the best morning or weekend before they come in to school, and we have to ensure that we give our children the best opportunities to be successful when they are in our schools.

During the session, we will consider:

?  The impact that external factors can have on a child whilst they are in school

?  The importance of building a good relationship with children

?  What a child’s behaviour can really tell us about how they are feeling

?  Approaches that we can utilise and develop as educators to support children with their wellbeing

?  Using books to support children with understanding their emotions
