“I like mixing with the other year groups and we get asked how we are feeling at the beginning and end.”

“I like being with older children and saying how I'm feeling.”

“ I like answering the questions, they are funny.”

What do the staff of St Paul's think of our relational circles:

“It has been nice to see children I don’t normally interact with them.”

“Children enjoy it and its nice to say how they’re feeling.”

“ Its nice to be able to problem solve together and follow things up at lunchtime.” 

Feeling Board

Our check in/check out circles begin with the feeling board. This is a simple yet effective way for children to share how they're feeling and the start of the day. We also have a 'Can I talk to you?' box, giving children a discreet way to let us know if they would like to speak to an adult privately at the end of the circle. 

Parent Circles 

Each half term, we invite parents in to join their children's check in circles which is a great opportunity to support their children's wellbeing, join in with the fun questions and connect with new members of staff. 

Staff Circles 

Every Wednesday after school, staff come together for Staff circles. This is a time to connect, reflect and answer a question or two that help us get to know each other better.
