Our Patron Nick Clegg MP with children showing the CDs they had received at the end of a workshop.

“Parents have said they like the CD and enjoyed using it….children were calmer as a result of the workshop”

Carey O’Donoghue Y6 teacher St. Oswald’s

Lessons for Key Stage 2 pupils.

Based around the new CD created with Firth Park students, the children are introduced to calming and relaxing techniques including :-

breathing
meditation,
visualisation,
sleep advice
affirmations.

All pupils receive a copy to the CD to support practice at home. Detailed notes are given to teachers to enable practice to continue and suggesting follow-up activities.
The lessons fit in well with the SEAL programme for Y5 and Y6, also with
