Curriculum Music, Dance and Drama or PPA/CPD
We offer unique and expert Curriculum, PPA or CPD Dance, Music and Drama Provision. This is available for all years and is designed by Rattle and Roll’s expert team to go above and beyond the key elements of the National Curriculum and EYFS. We can plan flexibly to fit into any topic set by school to compliment learning across the curriculum.
Curriculum Dance, Gymnastics, Mindfulness and Yoga, and Sport PPA/CPD
We also offer expert sports coaching in all sports including Gymnastics and also specially designed HIIT (high intensity interval training) sessions for children. The benefits of HIIT training are that children can exercise for short periods of time whilst gaining the same physical benefits of a longer workout. With the combination of Dance; Mindfulness and Yoga; and Sport – we can provide a varied PE package over the course of a year.
Mindfulness sessions with staff on INSET days
These sessions focus on increasing a sense of wellbeing as well as offering tools and strategies to deal with increased stress or anxiety (bought on by every day events).
What is Mindfulness? Live in the present
- The opposite of autopilot.
- Mindfulness is a way of training the mind to be present. It involves paying attention to what is happening as it happens, and doing so with an attitude of kindness, acceptance, and non-judgment.
- Cultivating mindfulness produces greater self-awareness, can make us more empathic, and more resilient.
- We can learn to respond with greater wisdom and flexibility to difficult emotions and experiences, and learn to live with greater happiness and vitality.
The Benefits of Mindfulness
- Mindfulness improves working memory, creativity, attention span, and reaction speeds.
- Mindfulness reduces psychological distress (e.g. anxiety, stress & depression).
- Mindfulness enhances brain function, particularly areas of the brain associated with self awareness, empathy, self control and attention.
- Mindfulness can soothe the parts of the brain that produce stress hormones.
- It builds the areas of the brain that lift mood and promote learning.
- Mindfulness has also been shown to improve the immune system.
