Supporting wellbeing in the early years is essential in modern education. That’s why Upstrive has developed Upstrive Early, a specialised wellbeing platform designed especially for younger students aged 3-7. It helps young learners understand and express their emotions through fun, interactive group activities.
Upstrive Early is crafted to meet the needs of younger students who may not yet know how to read. The platform uses avatar animals and audio guidance to help children recognize and articulate their feelings. Whether a student is happy, sad, excited, or angry, they can choose an avatar that best matches their current emotion. This approach fosters emotional intelligence from a young age, helping students grow more comfortable expressing themselves.
One of the key features of Upstrive Early is the group activity mode. Teachers can initiate a class-wide session where students select their emotional state using pre-selected animal avatars. This creates a safe, non-judgmental space for children to communicate their emotions while also promoting a sense of community.
Originally developed as a tablet application, Upstrive Early has now been integrated into the Upstrive Education desktop interface. This makes it easier for teachers and school staff to monitor emotional trends and analyze class-wide wellbeing data directly from their desktops. The desktop version seamlessly blends with existing Upstrive Education tools, making it more accessible and efficient.
Primary school wellbeing is vital for creating a supportive learning environment. Young learners benefit from understanding their emotions, building resilience, and feeling safe to express themselves. Upstrive Early addresses this need by combining child-friendly technology with powerful emotional analytics, giving teachers insights into the overall mood and emotional state of their class.
