Let tamariki know that just like researchers – today they are going to do their own wellbeing investigation, so they can see which wellbeing areas they're all topped up in and which areas could have a little more attention paid to them.
Explain that they're going to each get a sheet that features the Five Ways to Wellbeing – these are the five actions that after a huge research study, were found to really boost our wellbeing. They are connect, give (kindness), be active, keep learning, and take notice (being present in the moment and enjoying this time). Ask tamariki what each might mean and some activities that might fit into that area (e.g. being active: playing outside at lunchtime, dancing, walking to school).
If this is your first time, this is a great point to refer to your A3 print-out or graph on the board, and to show tamariki how to complete it. Introduce the scale from their worksheet, and plot away! We'd suggest giving a few areas lower scores, so that you can show that it's okay to have an area you haven't had much time for... or have just forgotten about a bit lately.
Reinforce that there's no right or wrong and each time they complete this graph it's likely to be different.
Then give each student a copy of the How Am I Doing worksheet and ask them to complete their graphs.
Keep kōrero open as tamariki may have questions or want clarification around the types of things they do that contribute to them feeling good and functioning well that may not be listed, or might slightly different from those on the sheet.
You may like to regroup before they complete side two, so you can reflect on your graph and ask them – which areas you were topped up in and which areas you were a bit low in.
Give tamariki a chance to complete the second side, and colour their pictures and webs!
