Life Education Visit - Tuesday 20th - Thursday 22nd February.
Fri 09 Feb 2024We are excited to announce that the Life Education & SCARF team will be visiting all year groups at QPIA from Tuesday 20th - Thursday 22nd February.
The children’s charity Coram Life Education provides Health and Wellbeing Education support to schools. Workshops are delivered by a skilled educator from the SCARF (Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, Friendship) team.
Workshops – Life Education
There are three different fun, interactive and age-appropriate hour long workshops. Each of them aims to help children to understand the importance of physical and emotional health; they learn vital life-skills that are known to help their overall achievement.
- Reception. Theme: All about Me. Children learn that there is mental as well as physical health and learn about diet, exercise and basic personal hygiene.
- Year 1. Theme: My Wonderful Body. Children learn that their body gets energy from food and that exercise and sleep are important for our health.
- Year 2. Theme: Feelings. Children learn to recognise, name and manage their feelings and understand the importance of being a good friend.
Harold the giraffe and his friends are looking forward to seeing you all!
