Healthy Workshops (differentiated for EYFS, Y1-2, Y3-4 & Y5-6) – a 1 hour hands-on session for up to 60 pupils that engages and motivates children as they gain new learning and embed existing knowledge on the topic of the human body and keeping healthy. Topics include: the human body, mental health and wellbeing, healthy eating, drinking water, 5 a day, where food comes from, the importance of physical activity, teeth, hygiene, sleep, household safety and much more. This workshop has between 20-25 different stations for children to explore and learn in small groups. See video

Mental Health and Wellbeing Workshops (differentiated for Y1-2, Y3-4 & Y5-6) –  a 1 hour hands-on session for up to 30 pupils that enables children to delve into their learning.  Children visit activity stations to learn how mental health and physical health are intricately linked, and the importance of looking after and improving their mental health and wellbeing. The framework for the session is built on the evidence based Five Ways to Wellbeing and includes a large amount of the RHE curriculum. See video
