Panda Power FAQ's
What age group is the Panda Power Primary Pack designed for?
The pack is designed for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. The visual cards, stories and boards are adaptable for early readers as well as older primary pupils needing targeted emotional support.
Â
How does Panda Power work?
Through engaging visual cards, interactive stories, and mood boards, we make emotional learning fun and accessible. This can be implemented either at home or in the classroom for ages 5-11.
Â
How does Panda Power align with the primary curriculum?
It directly supports the statutory Relationships and Health Education (RSE/PSHE) framework in England and Wales, focusing on mental wellbeing, respectful relationships, caring friendships, and personal behaviour reflection.
How does the programme encourage positive behaviour without being punitive?
Panda Power uses character-driven stories and visual scenario cards to create a safe buffer. Pupils evaluate choices and consequences through the characters rather than feeling directly put on the spot, shifting the focus from blame to self regulation and reflection.
Is Panda Power a whole-class resource or a targeted intervention?
Panda Power uses character-driven stories and visual scenario cards to create a safe buffer. Pupils evaluate choices and consequences through the characters rather than feeling directly put on the spot, shifting the focus from blame to self-regulation and reflection.
How long does a typical Panda Power session take?
Sessions are flexible. They can range from 10-15 minute daily morning check-ins or end-of-day reflections to structured 45-60 minute weekly PSHE lessons or targeted ELSA/pastoral interventions.
How do the Story Book and Choices Book work together?
The Story Book introduces shared narrative scenarios featuring relational and behavioural challenges. The Choices Book explores alternate pathways and outcomes, allowing pupils to discuss "what happens if..." and explore consequences in a structured way.
How does the pack support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?
The strong visual emphasis, low-text scenario cards, and tactile boards make the pack particularly effective for pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, or Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN).
How are the Pupil Passports and Stickers integrated?
The Passports act as personal progress logs where pupils record individual goals, acts of kindness, or self regulation milestones. Teachers and support staff award corresponding stickers to validate positive choices and build long-term self esteem.
What is the role of the Reflection Box in the classroom?
The Reflection Box provides a quiet, discreet outlet for pupils to submit thoughts, feelings, or scenario cards when they need individual support, helping staff identify pupils who may need follow-up pastoral check-ins
Are replacement consumables available if we run out of passports or stickers?
Yes, refill packs for Pupil Passports, sticker sheets, and replacement boards or card boxes can be ordered separately without needing to purchase a full school box.
