The key to energy is desire. I am energized by the desire to make everyone in the world
aware of the universal language of iMA.
"I wish I would've learned this earlier in my life". "Why don't they teach this in schools?"
On April 26 th I had the good fortune to introduce iMA to 70 teachers and staff at
I received this letter on Saturday,and have permission to publish it.
Dear James
Here is a brief overview of what the Year 3 boys and girls ( 8 to 9 years old) did in an assembly
to the remainder of the school (400 students) following the iMA Teacher Training on April 26th.
They presented to all the children from the ages 4 to 16!
What colour are you?
As a follow-up to a very interesting staff inset day. We put together an assembly that related what the staff had learnt directly to the students.
You can see from the assembly script that we firstly thought about what we are good at and how we can help others with the skills we have. We thought about how this and our different personalities make us the unique people we are.
We then decided how are personalities are different using the High Red, High Yellow, High Green, and High Blue iMA styles.
You can see from the script how each group was portrayed by the children. They then sorted themselves into the iMA styles group. They thought they best fitted into.
Since the assembly. They often talk about how someone is a High Blue, or has done a very High Yellow thing etc.
Chet: Welcome to our assembly. A new term, a new start.
Jasmine: We have been thinking about new targets for this term.
Izzy: I would like to get better at reading.
Alan: I would like to get better at tables.
Scarlet: I would like to get better at netball.
Jem: I would like to get better at organization.
Vithusan: I would like to get better at being more confident.
Sonny: We have also thought about what we are good at already.
Tabatha: I love reading.
Rosie: I think netball is brilliant.
Madeleine: I like being neat, tidy and organised.
Harry: give me a math sum any day.
James L: I will clearly and confidently talk in front of the whole class.
Classroom Scenario Set Up
Lucy: A working day in upper 2
Pupils sit at desks working
Izzy: I just can't read this. What does that word say? Mrs. Rackett can you help me?
Ivy: Just a moment I'm listening to Evie read.
Tabitha: I'm good at reading, shall I help you?
Izzy: Yes please, thank you.
Jem: Oh my desk is such a mess, will I ever get it tidy?
Madeleine: Let me show you how I organize my desk.
Jem: Wow! Will you help me do that?
Madeleine: Yes, I would love to.
Vithusan: I'm really nervous about reading my poem in front of the class.
James L.: Would you like me to stand at the front with you, just in case?
Vithusan: Yes please, I would feel much more confident with someone else there.
Alan: On the netball court
With a ball start a pretend game.
( Cerys,EJ, Katie and Rose)
Scarlett: I just can't seem to get the ball in the net.
Rosie: Look try this.
Scarlet: Oh that's better.
Joshua: We are all good at something, which makes us all different and special.
Jack G.: Each one of us has a different personality, which makes us unique. We all act in different ways. We all respond in different ways.
Sort into iMA Groups
HR Joseph + Curtley : We are the High Reds
HY Jude: We are the High Yellows
HB Lauren Jack+ James: We are the High Blues
HG Rose: we are the High Greens
Safia: I am a High Yellow. I am confident and will always put my hand up in class. I love to have loads of friends and chat. I say what I think and like to get things done quickly.
Capucine: I am a High Blue. I also like to have lots of friends, and what they think of me is scary important. I am not as confident as High Yellow, and would prefer to sit back and listen.
Joseph: I am a High Red. I just want to get my work done without any fuss or bother. I am good at my work and don't like being interrupted by chatterboxes. If they interrupt me I will tell them to be quiet.
Dominic: I am a High Green. I will listen carefully and make sure I do what I am asked. I like to know exactly what's going on, as it makes me feel happier. I can be quite shy.
Ruben: Even our teachers are all different.
Jessica: Ms. Rackett would join the High Yellow group, as she is confident and likes people.
Jack G.: Mr. King, what iMA colour would you say you are?
Mrs. Tudgay, what colour would you say you are?
Timothy: perhaps you would all like to think about what iMA colour you are, and how the special person you are could help others.
Daisy: We will now say a prayer.
Thank you for making us all unique and special.
Help us to use our differences to help each other.
Make us think about other people's needs, as well as our own.
Give us confidence in what we are good at and guidance in what we find more difficult.
Help us to work together as a team.
Amen
Anisa: We will now sing hymn number 258 . This Little Light of Mine
How many of us would have loved to have gone to a school like this?
