Help build habits designed to maximise personal happiness, optimism and wellbeing as well as enhance learning and performance, just by maximising a few minutes here and there.
Use the strategies on the A5 teacher cards (suitable for all year groups) with the whole class and individuals to get the best from them and help them to get the best from themselves.

Use the Magic Moments assembly to introduce the theme of ‘pausing’ before action and noticing little daily positives.
T-R-I-C-K-S for KS1 and KS2 is a flexible, moving parts strategy designed to enhance creative and critical thinking processes in and outside the classroom, championing unique individual insights, interests and personal approaches to maximise free thinking ingenuity and engagement.
Introduce the themes alongside ‘Drew Makes Plans’ and the teacher A5 cards at KS1 and bring alive in the classroom.
For KS2 use the Creative T-R-I-C-K-S assembly to introduce the themes and the teacher A5 cards and then follow up with the KS2 Creative Quests.
The Creative Quests provide a practical opportunity to practise a wide range of skills developing divergent thinking, research and experimentation, goal setting and problem-solving.
