'This book by Yvonne Weatherhead represents an excellent addition
to any busy teacher's collection. Packed with useful, creative
ideas it significantly moves forward the national agenda with
regard to Circle Time. Devotees of Circle Time strategies will find
a wealth of new approaches between its covers whilst newcomers will
find it an invaluable introduction. The book is extremely popular
on all of my national training events. I personally look forward to
the next instalment ' - "Alan Peat, International Educational

Yvonne draws upon her experience of using visualisation and
positive thoughts with young people in Circle Time. Many teachers
recognise the value of promoting aspiration and optimism for young
people but they lack the resources and opportunity to introduce
these techniques.
This publication fills that gap providing:
" twenty Positive Thought scripts, each of which is also
provided as a photocopiable poster and in a colour version on the
accompanying disk.
" eight complete Dream Journey scripts with teacher notes on how
to prepare children for these powerful visualisation techniques and
ideas for follow up work.
These techniques can be used in several settings, to enrich
Circle Time, to provide themes for assemblies or in the classrooms
as part of Citizenship and the literacy hour. Yvonne also uses them
to relax children before SATs.
A wonderful resource on its own and links are made with key
stage 1 and 2 targets including:
" Developing confidence and responsibility and making the most
of their abilities
" Preparing to play an active role as citizens
" Developing good relationships and respecting the difference
between people
" Developing a healthy safer lifestyle.
