Description

This Teacher Resource Guide accompanies the Quiet Corner Junior poster, part of the Wild Teak Studio Thriving Classroom Series – Calm Classroom Set.

Designed for teachers working with children aged 6–10, the guide offers practical ways to introduce and use a quiet, welcoming space where children can pause, settle their feelings and regain a sense of calm before returning to classroom activities.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the five steps for resting, calming and resetting.
• Discussion questions to encourage emotional awareness, self-reflection and an understanding of the need for quiet moments.
• Practical suggestions for creating and using a Quiet Corner in everyday classroom life.
• Engaging activities that encourage mindful breathing, gentle observation, stillness and self-regulation.
• Cross-curricular opportunities for developing calm attention, emotional awareness and thoughtful participation.
• Guidance for supporting different emotional and learning needs and encouraging progress.

The emphasis is on helping children recognise when they need a moment to pause and understand that taking time to settle is a positive choice, rather than a punishment. Through gentle, supportive practices, children develop greater emotional awareness, independence and confidence in managing their feelings.

More than a poster companion, this guide helps teachers create a nurturing classroom environment where children learn to pause, restore their calm and return to learning with renewed attention.
