Thrive: Change, Transition and Managing Worries

Hello,

This academic year, Roman Way School has introduced a half-termly Thrive focus, which I launched at one of our first whole-school assemblies.

This term in Thrive, pupils will take part in a series of activities designed to help them understand and manage feelings linked to change, transition and worries.

Through discussions, games, creative activities and circle time, children will:

• Explore and identify different emotions.
• Understand that change can bring mixed feelings.
• Learn the difference between small and big worries.
• Identify trusted adults and support networks.
• Develop practical strategies to manage worries and build resilience.
• Reflect on personal strengths and positive experiences of coping with change.
• Celebrate their growth, achievements and readiness for future transitions.

Our aim is to help children build emotional confidence, recognise when they need support, and develop healthy ways of managing worries. Throughout the programme, we reinforce the key message that no worry is too big or too small, and there is always a trusted adult who can help.

Thank you,
Mrs Franklin
