SUMO 4 Schools (4-11)

NEW

Life-changing programme which supports SEAL and motivates pupils to achieve

This exciting new programme brings all the principles of SEAL to primary and secondary school education, with life-changing lessons that pupils will take with them throughout life. They will learn the necessary skills to manage their emotions, create aspirations and take responsibility for their lives, with practical ways of keeping healthy – emotionally, mentally and physically.

SUMO 4 Schools is based on the bestselling book S.U.M.O. – Shut Up, Move On by Paul McGee, which is included in these packs. S.U.M.O. shows that the way a person thinks is a major factor in determining how their life unfolds. It demonstrates that by taking responsibility for their life they can fulfil their potential, seize opportunities, enjoy relationships, succeed at what they do and respond to adverse situations with a positive attitude.

SUMO 4 Schools is an adaptation of the S.U.M.O. philosophy which has six-life inspiring principles:
•    Change your T-shirt – learn how to take responsibility
•    Develop fruity thinking – learn how to use your mind to fulfil your potential
•    Hippo time is ok – manage your emotions, don’t let them manage you
•    Remember the beach ball – learn how to build better relationships with others
•    Learn Latin – seize the day! Life rewards actions not intentions
•    Ditch Doris Day – create your own future and make a positive difference

The SUMO 4 Schools pack contains everything teachers need to get started with an overview of S.U.M.O., explaining where it fits into the wider school curriculum. The pack makes it easy to create interactive lessons built around the S.U.M.O. principles that pupils will quickly engage with and respond to. There’s also a wealth of supporting material including prepared lesson plans, DVD, CD Rom with animated PowerPoints, worksheets, assembly DVD clips and posters. With the SUMO 4 Schools pack teachers can quickly and seamlessly start to build S.U.M.O. into their lessons – and equip students and staff to beat stress to achieve their best and maximise their potential in life.

‘S.U.M.O. has helped me change my attitude. I would argue and behave badly because I felt no one liked me, but now I know I don’t need to wear the Victim T-shirt. I can S.U.M.O. and take responsibility for how I am feeling and behaving.’
