19.01.2022 Weekly Summary for our 5th Workshop for Term 4, 2018 at Caddies Jigsaw OOSH: Topic: ‘Dealing with disagreements and conflict: turning ‘you’ statements into ‘I ‘ statements’. Aim: for the children to learn and put into practise the best ways to deal with conflict and disagreements. For each child to learn what ‘I statements’ are and how to use them for conflict resolution. ... Games and activities * Craft: Sleep door knob hanger (from last week’s topic) * Discussion and brainstorming about conflict resolution and arguments. * Introducing the 5 conflict resolution styles: presented using animal characters. * Discussion and brainstorming of if winning an argument is worth it in the end or is it better to maintain the relationship with a person than to win. * Introducing ‘I statements’ instead of playing the blame game. * How to respond when someone is angry or upset with you through active listening. What active listening is and why it’s important. * Learning about having a time out when an argument gets too heated so that each person can calm down first. * Each child had a turn to act out conflict scenarios where they put the blame and yelled at the other person then tried the alternate way where they responded instead with ‘I’ messages and active listening to see which style was better at improving the situation. What you can do at home to support your child in this: Try to role model ‘I statements’ and active listening within your household. If you see your child getting frustrated remind them that calling a time out to calm down is ok. If your child yells and screams in a conflict remind them to use ‘I statements’ instead. Next week’s topic: ‘Dealing with social media and online bullying’ News/updates: * Don’t forget that this term we are running two sessions that are ‘families choice’. You can let us know what topic to do with mental health you would like us to run?

12.01.2022 ‘Life is not safe, and so our task is not to promise our kids there will be no turbulence. It’s to assure them that when the turbulence comes, we will all hold hands and get through it together. We do not promise them a heartache-free life, but we do assure them that the slings and arrows won’t kill them in fact, they will make them kinder, wiser, more resilient.’ Great article check it out

10.01.2022 Weekly Summary for our 4th Workshop for Term 4, 2018 at Caddies Jigsaw OOSH: Topic: ‘Sleep routines’- the importance of sleep for healthy bodies and minds. Aim: for the children to learn about how important it is for their minds and bodies to get adequate sleep.

What you can do at home to support your child in this: Try to talk to your child about their sleep, check that they are comfortable in the environment that they sleep in. Eg. Is their pillow comfortable, is the light too bright, do they need a night light? Discuss with them what their sleep routine is to make sure they have one that works for them. Think about how many hours of sleep they are getting, is it enough? At least 11 hours is optimal for their age.

10.01.2022 Weekly Summary for our 1st Workshops for Term 4, 2018 at Caddies Jigsaw OOSH: Topic: ‘You are a star’. Aim: ... - For the kids to meet each other and bond. - For all the kids to have a great time searching for the stars and completing some activities on the back of the stars. - All activities were designed to increase self-esteem and confidence, a sense of belonging and appreciation of being unique. - For the kids to find out what our Workshops are all about. Games and activities * How do you feel chart and meet and greet introductions. * Each child had a chance to tell us what they hope to learn from our sessions. * Search for the Inspired Kids Stars hidden around the school grounds. Who can find the most? * Count up your stars to see who found the most. Winner gets a little prize next week. * Each child chooses one activity from the back of one of the stars that they found. They read it out and answer/ perform it. Then each person in the group also has a go of answering or performing that thing. There were some really interesting things like: ‘what you would do in the future, if you were famous what would it be for, saying funny rhymes ten times, if you had all the LEGO in the world what would you make and standing in a powerful pose and shouting out, I can do this’! * Decorating star bookmarks that the children can then use at home. * Inspired Kids Word search What you can do at home to support your child in this: Ask to see your child’s bookmark and encourage them to use it. What does it mean to them? Ask them how they felt when they found a star? Were they proud of themselves? Perhaps help your child with the word search and explain how the words listed explain what our Workshops are about. Next week’s topic: ‘The brain house’.
