Big Outcomes For Little People
-
Positive learning environments start with a nurturing social and emotional environment that is built on caring and responsive relationships. Only when they feel secure, can children truly explore, learn, and let their incredible, unique selves shine.
Heart Yarns: Connected Classrooms (Upper Primary Edition) is specifically designed to engage kids in conversation and a fun way for teachers and students to connect and discover more about themselves and each other.
And what better way to reach an 11-year-old boy than through occasional gratuitous bathroom humour. Teacher’s might sometimes find it revolting, but their classroom will be filled with fits of laughter as together, kids can:
- Establish a sense of belonging
- Realise they’re not that weird and different
- Practice making good choices
- Be faced with moral dilemmas
- Spark thought provoking responses
- Introduce positive self-talk and
- Feel safe to share feelings and vulnerabilities in a fun, non-confronting way
Heart Yarns explores 160 interesting social dilemmas and questions to help students and teachers share thoughtful discussions about growth mindset, kindness, resilience, self-love and so much more. All while taking only minutes a week and having a whole lot of fun!
What questions are included?
Social dilemmas:
- Someone tells you something embarrassing about another friend. It’s so funny. Do you share it with others or keep it to yourself?
Expanding emotional intelligence and growth mindset:
- Is trying your best or being the best more important?
- Is crying a sign of strength or weakness?
Making choices:
- Would you rather be the smartest person or the most popular person in your school?
- Would you rather always have to tell the truth no matter what, or always lie?
And get the whole class giggling with the ONE WORD, beat the buzzer round:
- The Doctor looked up my brother’s nose and found…..
- Teacher, instead of a Maths test, can we please spend the time…

Big feelings come, and big feelings go. Before little people can learn how to regulate emotions, they first need to recognise that a feeling has come to visit within their body. The first clue to BIG emotions might be physical feelings, or body clues, and recognising these clues gives them time to figure out a helpful strategy. Without this awareness, children are more likely to react without thinking about the consequences. With BODY BUDDIES, you can help your little learners explore and identify what different body clues mean for them and that no matter what emotion they’re experiencing—happiness or anger—it’s temporary. BODY BUDDIES come to visit, we recognise the clues that they’re visiting, offer our BUDDY some help, then they leave. The BODY BUDDIES Poster Series explores: Happy Sad Angry Calm Embarrassed Surprised Scared Shy Bye Buddy, see you next time! This is a digital resource. -
BIG feelings can be tricky for little people. The first step in regulating these feelings is being able to name them. Learning to identify their own emotions and how to respond to the feelings of others as a core part of social development. So how can you support your children’s emotional literacy?
