RELAX KIDS AT WEST BARNS
We are delighted to be welcoming Emma Vance from Relax Kids over the next few weeks to enrich our Health and Wellbeing curriculum.  Emma uses a variety of approaches to lead the children through a structured session which ultimately helps them to be mindful and relax.  These are very helpful skills in our busy lives.

P1/2, P2/3 and P6/7 are embarking upon their 6 week block of sessions this term, and we intend that our other classes will take part in sessions next term.

If you wish to look at this further at home please feel free to access the free calm pack which  available on the Relax Kids website Home – Relax Kids – Official Website
