Saplings group information

What is the Saplings Group?

The Saplings group is for children who we think will benefit from being in a small structured group.

They may be children who feel unsure about school or who need more adult support than can be given in class. Children sometimes find the school day too long, too hard or too much.

These children can seem quiet, noisy or lonely. They might be feeling unhappy or confused.

How can the Saplings help?

The children have the opportunity to develop 1-to-1 relationships with Mrs. Cheffings. They will also build relationships with other children in the group. This helps with trust, sharing, turn taking and confidence building. They follow rules and routines but with extra help to encourage and reward good behavior and social skills.

They will have a lot of opportunities to practice getting along well with adults and other children.

When will my child be in the Saplings Group?    

Your child will be in the group for two sessions per week.
