Episode 6: The deer moves. Improving the class climate

Moving house is not easy for a child. Especially when they also have to change schools and attend a new class. The Dachs school class shows how to welcome a new pupil.

Mr Badger has some news: A new pupil, the deer, will soon be joining the class.
While the deer is completely distraught about her parents' plans to move, Mr Badger and his class are already thinking about how the new child will feel and how they can work together to make the deer feel welcome in the unfamiliar surroundings.
The current short film «Das Reh zieht um» is intended to strengthen children's empathy and encourage them to make an active effort to integrate new pupils.

Information on the series «Together we are great»

How can rules be introduced in a class so that pupils are more likely to comply with them? How can pupils who find it difficult to stick to rules because of their impulsive and quick-tempered behaviour be supported ? How can a class be sensitised to the issue of bullying? And how can a teacher react if bullying does occur?
Psychologists Fabian Grolimund, Stefanie Rietzler and Nora Völker get to the bottom of these and other questions in the short film series «Together we are class».
The films are aimed directly at children and are intended to help teachers find answers to the above questions with their class. Teachers can download free teaching materials to accompany the films from the Biber blog.
The series is being produced in collaboration with the Swiss parents' magazine Fritz+Fränzi.
