Children's Mental Health Week
“A very thought provoking session and a great introduction to mindfulness.” (Jane Woolley, Durston House)
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week shines a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health. Our dance workshop, Mindfulness through Movement, introduces the concept of mindfulness through creative movement activities based on meditation, thought processes, and relaxation.
Mindfulness through Movement
Chinese New Year
“Absolutely brilliant and even taught the teachers a lot about how to deliver dance lessons.” (Robyn Buckley, Merryhills Primary School)
Bring the joy of ribbon dancing into your school hall! Led by our specialist dance facilitator, your children will delve into the Chinese New Year origin story, taking on the physicality of the animals from 'The Great Race'. They will brighten up your hall with their swirling movements, whilst holding ribbons in traditional colours.

World Book Day
“It was evident to see just how much they were enjoying it from the large smiles on their faces” (Eleni Bekiri, St Pauls Catholic Primary)
World Book Day is a Freshwater highlight! We love the annual celebration of authors, books, and the joy of reading. Join us to creep through the wardrobe, jump like Alice or stride like the Gruffalo! With your pupils we can explore a beloved literary world or introduce them to new tales which will quickly become their favourites.

Shakespeare Week
“Children were totally captivated. They have not stopped repeating some of the lines that were learnt.” (Kathryn Grundy, Hylands Primary School)
