At St James’ we are currently introducing a programme linked to Health and Wellbeing known as PATHS. PATHS stands for Promoting Positive Thinking Strategies and its aim is to promote emotional and social wellbeing. We discuss a range of feelings and how we can recognise what people are feeling.
Each day every class has a Pupil of the Day. These pupils are given compliments from their peers which are recorded on a compliment sheet. The teacher also gives the Pupil of the Day a compliment. This is sent home (currently via seesaw) and parents/guardians are encouraged to discuss the compliments and add their compliment to share with the class. Pupil of the Day are identified by stickers, badges etc and are complimented by others around the school over the course of the school day.
The units of PATHS are:
- emotional understanding
- self-control
- social problem solving skills
- peer relations and self-esteem
These units are covered at each stage with activities appropriate to the developmental level during each year.
