Week 1

Week 1 sets the tone for a safe, joyful, and predictable routine where every learner can succeed. You’ll open with Set Go (Levels A–D and F–3), a fast, non-eliminating warm-up that pairs students to practise reacting to “Set/Go,” counting fingers, and cheering peers. Expect smiles, quick wins, and easy baseline observations of focus, number recognition/addition, and turn-taking. Staff model beside students, and accessibility options (visual prompts, number cards, gesture alternatives) keep everyone included and energised for learning.

‍

Across the week, you’ll rotate through three short, high-impact activities that build social-emotional foundations. My Kindness Journal invites students to draw/write three acts of kindness (gave, received, want to try) and share to a class Kindness Wall, strengthening language around feelings and prosocial norms. Old MacDonald Had a Fitness Farm blends story and fitness; students act out animals with scalable movements (and wheelchair-friendly alternatives) to boost coordination, imagination, and regulation. You’ll close with Feelings Faces, a playful role-play where learners practise expressing and identifying emotions, then reflect with simple prompts. Educators can expect minimal setup, clear differentiation for Levels A–D and F–3, multiple modes of response (verbal, visual, assisted), and lots of celebration, laying a confident, connected platform for Week 2.
