Based on the work of the Hillingdon Tuition Centre, this is a practical, innovative and useful resource for nine to 12 year olds whose behaviour is causing concern.
Using the theme of a young boy writing letters from a Pupil Referral Unit, each session includes:
o warm up activities
o reading the letter
o group discussion
o activities
o a plenary session.
