Key Stage: 2

Description

A free children’s e-book entitled ‘Learning to Live with Fog Monsters’ and accompanying teachers’ notes. Please see links at the bottom of this page to access the resources.

Developed following 18 months' research with children aged 6-11 by UWE's School of Health and Social Wellbeing, "this resource aims to engage and enable pupils in Key Stage 2 and support teachers in delivering high quality, research informed lessons that could really make a difference to well-being, resilience and understanding of challenging times as we prepare our children to be active citizens.

This book has been produced as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded VIP-CLEAR project (Voices in a Pandemic: Children’s Lockdown Experiences Applied to Recovery) This resource is based on research that listened to the voices of children about their experiences during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The book highlights the impacts of invisible threats (such as COVID-19) and its mitigation through the eyes of two 10-year-olds. The importance of sharing worries, working together, and planning for hopeful futures at home, in school and in the wider community is introduced as a springboard for discussion and further work. This implicitly links with the geography and PSHE curriculum."
