Nelson Academy Prospectus

17 Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) Each half-term we have a topic focus which helps us think about a particular aspect of social and emotional aspects of learning. An example topic focus is ‘It’s Good To Be Me’ in which we look at our strengths and weaknesses as learners and celebrate why it’s good to be ourselves. This theme focuses on understanding feelings and why and how they lead us to behave the way we do - particularly the feelings of being excited, proud, surprised, hopeful, disappointed, worried and anxious. As an academy we look for pupils who are: • Doing something to be proud of • Responding in an assertive way • Helping someone with a worry • Stopping and thinking when they were angry For full details on our curriculum please visit nelsonacademy.co.uk Nelson 2017.indd 17 10/05/2017 08:47
