We are excited to announce that the Life Education & SCARF team will be visiting all year groups at QPIA from Tuesday 20^th - Thursday 22^nd 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!

The theme this year is 'My Voice Matters' which fits really nicely with the children's learning about the Zones of Regulation and talking about our feelings. There will be a special assembly and circle time activities during the week in class. Ru our Therapy Dog continues to work with the children every Wednesday, for more information about Ru please click here.

For the third year we will be supporting..
