Knowing Me & Knowing You proved to be a big hit with Year 6 pupils at Langdale Primary School who particularly enjoyed participating in the hands-on creative activities, consisting of 'My Happy List' and drawing a 'Positive Vibes Tree'. This bespoke worshop was designed and facilitated by Roxana Rudzik-Shaw, focussing on embracing individuality, positivity, and developing self-esteem, through creativity to ultimately promote positive mental health and wellbeing amongst pupils.

Miss Worrall, Teacher and Art Co-ordinator, said of this bespoke workshop:

"The Positive Vibes workshop was tailored to our children's needs to help raise their self esteem and self expectations. All children were spoken to in an enthusiastic and caring manner by Roxy; this enabled all children to feel that their contributions were valued. The activities designed were paced excellently and kept the children focussed and engaged. The workshop also gave the children the opportunity to share some fears with their teachers which proved very insightful as we were able to talk to children about issues that we were previously unaware of. Thank you!".

This evening a special guest, Roxy, from RRS Counselling Services came to run a workshop for us. The girls had to line up in certain orders without talking. Then, we got rid of all their worries for the night, as the girls posted them in our worry box. After that, the Brownies made leaves for a tree which would represent them. The girls said how much they liked the evening.
