What a session looks like
Your A-life coach will set out 20-25 hands-on activities around the room, so that children are never waiting to use equipment, they are engaged with a fun activity at all times. Each activity station has its own topic, hands-on equipment to explore, an information board and an activity card.
The stations are age-appropriate, with 4 difficulty levels that can be changed at any time to suit even the most diverse class or mixed age group (including special needs). Your coach will work with you to make sure all children are challenged and get the most out of the session.
Children will be put into small groups and, after a short introduction from your A-life coach, head off to one of the action-packed activity stations.
At the end, your coach will round off the session with a short group discussion to consolidate the learning, focussing on a key theme (or themes) of your choice.
