Sarah Bowen, Year 3 Class teacher, Gellifaelog Primary SchoolAt Gellifaelog Primary School, using a whole school approach to the teaching of Emotional Literacy, one of the seven SEAL themes is initially introduced in assembly with a story and it is then followed up in individual classes with age appropriate discussions and relevant activities. Further to this, there are six different board games focusing on teaching good manners, appropriate behaviour and understanding emotions. These games give the children an opportunity to learn in an informal situation with a member of staff and from their peers. SEAL sets out to promote and enhance children’s relationships, self-awareness, self-esteem, mutual respect and good manners. It aims to reduce bullying and advocates good citizenship. It is a common belief that children’s social development and emotional wellbeing are vitally important and have an impact on their ability to access the curriculum.
As a result we are using SEAL with the aim to reduce these barriers by developing the children’s personal and social skills in order for them to reach their full potential. The sharing of lessons and ideas have proved useful and further development of effective practice will be done via the establishment of PLCs.
