Magic Box
Magic Box sessions are fun, interactive story sessions where kids help Lottie, a professional actor, create and tell a story, using the odd things she finds in her Magic Box. Children follow a character into a themed adventure where they can role-play, move around the imaginary space – and sing songs! Each session involves listening, speaking and spatial awareness, and helps children understand simple instructions in a structured, yet fluid, environment. The wonderful story teller Lottie has an online channel. Click here for further information.

How can I prepare children for a return to school after lockdown?
When children begin returning to school following lockdown, they may be returning to a school that looks different to the one they remember. Young children may find this transition difficult after an extended time at home. When children return, they may find that there are many changes to the school routine and environment. The classrooms will look different, the toys and activities will be different, they may have a new teacher and different children in the class. It is important to prepare children for this but in a manner that is reassuring and age appropriate. This PowerPoint explains some of the differences that Little Bear may notice when he returns to school. All the changes are explained in a comforting and positive way, helping children to transition back to school.
