INTRO

The origin for our ‘Minds Your Business' WOW had both short and long term aims. In the first instance, we wanted to develop and deepen pupils’ awareness and understanding of mental health as something that everybody has, something that can be positive or negative and ways in which people can be proactive in developing a positive mindset and take ownership over their well being.

Another ambition for this theme was to make a positive and lasting impact on the culture and ethos of our school environment. Being aware of and supportive of the well-being of all members of our Lancot community will make us empathetic, cohesive and resilient.

Through our curriculum planning, pupils have engaged in a huge range of physical activities, nutrition based experiences and tried out new creative skills. The timetable below is the culmination of the term’s learning journey for all children, from Nursery to Year 6. They have transferred their curriculum learning into a workshop format, through which they will share their knowledge, skills and understanding with those of you lucky enough to book a place!

We cannot wait to see the children leading their masterclasses and workshops that they have worked so hard to plan and prepare for; I know you will join us in celebrating their creativity, courage and collaboration as well as their public speaking and leadership skills.

Payments

All workshops are £3.50 unless otherwise specified. This is due to the cost of resources that have been sourced for those particular workshop. Please click here to book onto the workshops.
