…The children and staff both enjoyed the fun packed workshops, which were all age appropriate and they enjoyed the active learning.–Rachel Birks, Denbigh Infant School, Luton (Years R-2)
I just wanted to say thank you very much for the A-life workshops last Monday. We have had very positive feedback from both staff and students.–Sarah Wilson, Hillside Infant School, Gosport (Years R-2)
…All the children were engaged during the workshops, lots to do – kept their interest. They learnt LOTS! All about healthy living. Nothing to improve! Very Good–Becky Hewitt, Colden Common Primary School, Hants (Years R-6)
A-life healthy workshops include around 20 hands-on, games-based healthy activities that are fun, safe, and educational. Each activity teaches pupils about their bodies and is connected to the curriculum for PSHE, Science or PE and involves strong links with many other subjects across the curriculum (see learning outcomes).
Recognising that children learn in many different ways, our wide range of healthy school activities should suit even the most diverse class (including special needs). Topics include: a balanced diet, exercise, healthy teeth, hygiene, 6-8 glasses of water, importance of sleep, 5-a-day, Olympics, nutritional values, lifestyles past and present, traffic light system, where food comes from, how food grows, medicines & household safety, consequences and effects of smoking, drugs and alcohol as well as eating too much sugar, salt and fat in junk food and more.
Who can take part
There is a suggested maximum of 65 pupils per session. Five healthy workshops can be run in a day, totalling 300 pupils. It is possible to engage all eight year groups in a day with mixed age groups being accommodated as follows: Nursery, Reception, Yrs 1-2 together, Yrs 3-4 and Yrs 5-6. The task cards and activities are easily transferred/changed from one age group to the next.
