This has been my third visit to Nailsworth Primary School in Stroud. The first being an inset day teaching the staff about the FLIP model & what we are all about. The second was me delivering FLIP to some of the different year groups & other teachers observing.
Nailsworth students empowering themselves with a bit of power posing. Try it yourself – it’s scientifically proven to make you feel more confident!
After this visit teachers delivered FLIP to the classes that hadn’t had the experience so far.
The school were looking for a behavioural tool to use with all ages, from yr 1 to yr 6 as a way to enable children (and staff!!) to be better a resolving problems, to manage their emotions & to support their friends & empower themselves!
This third visit was super empowering for the children. In advance, each child had the opportunity to confidentially write down a problem & put it into a hat. The idea being that on the day on my workshop children would pull a problem out of the hat & use FLIP to help come up with solutions! Small group were formed & they busied themselves drawing a spidergram of idea that used all the elements of FLIP. Then they had a whale of a time role playing out the problem & then the solution!
Pupils write down some problems and then come up with the solutions – judging by the happy faces it looks like FLIPIt is already working.
What a fantastic experience for them to learn how they could possibly solve lots of day to day problems either by themselves, or through the support of each other & the teachers! It showed everyone that FLIP is a really flexible tool, easy to use & WORKS!!!!
