We are very excited to share with you our new Wonder Room!
The Wonder Room is a special place in the school for children to have a calm space to explore their feelings, regulate their emotions and receive support.
It is used each week by our ELSA and our play therapist and each lunchtime hosts our Lunchtime Hub. Other children are able to use it throughout the week if they need to.
It was specially designed for the school by the Miss Kim Molloy and Mr Craig Wildman, parents of Freddie Year 2, and funded by WonderWard partnered with the Howard de Waldon estate. We are so grateful to them both for this wonderful space. Please click here to see the WonderWard Press Release.
The children are really enjoying exploring this room and all that is has to offer:
- The blackout tent and soft cushions provide an area for overstimulated children to re-regulate themselves in a safe way, as well as being a cosy place for a chat with friends!
- The tactile wall panels provide sensory stimulation for children and are very fun to play with!
- The space has flexible seating and tables that can be re-arranged depending on who is using the room.
- The carpet is incredibly soft and so no shoes are allowed in the room.
I’m absolutely thrilled to see The Wonder Room already being put to such wonderful use!
We are so proud to see it making a positive difference, and we hope it continues to be a space where every child feels calm, supported and cared for.
A heartfelt thank you to the school staff, children, and wider school community for embracing this space with such openness and enthusiasm. It means the world to see it becoming part of daily school life.
It was sooooooo fun!! I loved the figets!!!
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to create such an inviting and calming room for our school.
I can very much assure you that the teachers had a brilliant time testing it out before it was open and left very reluctantly!
It is and will continue to be an integral part of our school, both now and for many years to come 🙂
THANK YOU! X
Thank you so much for this wonderful ‘wonder room’. I look forward to my time in the room.
I am very grateful to everyone who made this happen for our school. It truly is a magical place. My favourite part of the room is the fidget wall but I also love the blackout tent.
It has made an incredible difference to how I plan my sessions as an ELSA, the children can truly benefit from the room and I have to say it is a great way to start my week being in there every Monday.
Thank you to everyone involved.
