Getting started with Bloom

Five minutes to get your school started. Two minutes for each teacher to set up. Then one Adventure a week, two minutes of practice and a five-minute daily check-in.

Nothing to install. No passwords. No pupil accounts.

For teachersTwo minutes to set up. Around seven minutes a day.

Get started in seven steps

1

Open your setup link

Use the link your headteacher sent you. Enter your name, class and email. Your class code appears on screen and arrives by email.

No password or account needed.

2

Enter your class code

On your whiteboard and each class tablet, go to class.discoverbloom.co.uk/code

Enter your code once. Capitals and hyphens don't matter. Devices stay signed in, although you may need to re-enter the code after a holiday.

3

Monday: watch Adventure 1

Tap Adventures and play Adventure 1 on the whiteboard. Watch Fox and friends introduce a new emotional skill. Pause to talk about it if you like.

One ten-minute Adventure a week. A new one unlocks every Monday.

4

Every day: Daily Practice

This is the most important part of the whole programme. It's the consistent, everyday practice that helps children develop the skills to regulate their emotions and bodies.

Tap Daily Practice. Spend two minutes practising this week's skill together. It might be breathing, humming or movement.

Tick it off when you're done. After break or lunch is often a good time.

5

Every morning: Check-in

Tap Check-in and enter how many children are present. Choose Whiteboard or Pass the tablet.

Each child taps a face and a word to show how they're feeling.

Tap Finish check-ins to see your class as a meadow of foxes, grouped by feeling.

Around five minutes for a full class.

6

See how your class is doing

Tap See class wellbeing to view the week's feelings or revisit any day's meadow. You'll see how many children chose each feeling, never who. Nothing is stored against a child's name.

Want to ask something else? On the check-in start screen, tap Ask something else to type your own question for the class.

7

Forgotten your code?

Go to class.discoverbloom.co.uk/code and tap Forgotten your code? under the code box. Enter your email and we'll send the code to you. You can also ask the school office.
