Context:
This Training Action was taken from the list of best practices and fulfils the
following Key Educational Factors: Relationships; Sense and Knowledge;
Assuming Roles; Metacognition; Individualities.
The focus of this training action and sub
film making. There are three possible types of film which can be created
each of which can be used in a variety of ways.
1. Films which are solely intended to deliver factual information.
• A pre-filmed lesson which students can watch in their own time.
• A film which tells viewers about the school or hospital.
2. Films which are created to engage the students in the process of film
making.
• This could be about a subject of the students’ choice, f
example, cyberbullying.
• The students could be asked to create a film about a topic
relating to the concepts being learned in the curriculum, for
example, a film about factors affecting photosynthesis.
3. Films which share information and are more sensitive
nature.
• A film created by students to share their feelings about their
illness, for example, mental health or cancer, etc. This could be
shared with classmates in their own school or health
professionals.

What do partners need to implemen
actions?
1. Use a suitable soft toy panda (or any other soft toy will suffice as it is to
be used as a representation for the child who is not at school) and also
source an appropriate “backpack” that can hold notes, pictures and
memory sticks (for recorded messages). For an example see:

2. It would be good to get a pack together for the child that contains
paper notepads, pencils, memory sticks (possibly, but not essential)
and other items to go in the backpack.
3. Recording facilities and some software to transfer recorded messages
(voice and video) onto devices so that the pupils can see them (this
can be done via mobile phones, tablet computers, school computers
or laptops and memory sticks).
Training
School teachers will need information and training on how to use the Pandas
(or other soft toys) appropriately.
Teachers may also need to have information about the nature of the illness of
the child to be able to explain why the panda is present and why the pupil is
on hospital.
Use of recording hardware and software.
