We’ve given our “bouncebackability” a boost today, thanks to two lovely visitors!
 
Workshops have taken place in each class, building on the foundations of PSHE lessons delivered throughout the year.
 
The Coram Life Education’s “SCARF” programme uses a friendly giraffe named Harold to teach important messages about positive mental attitudes, gratitude and resilience.  He toured each class with his helper, Jo to meet the children and focus on key themes relating to mental health.
 
“The workshops were a really fun way to promote a very important message,” said Mental Health & PSHE Lead, Vicky Bishop.
 
“Every session was targeted at an appropriate level for each age group, combining evidence-based knowledge with practical stragegies,” she added.
 
“Having a visit from Harold really helps reinforce the theme - the children loved meeting him and can’t wait to welcome him back again another day!”
