πP5β7 Youth Work Programme with Matthew
Over the past number of weeks, our P5β7 pupils have been taking part in a fantastic block of sessions with Matthew from Youth Work.
During this time, pupils explored important topics around feelings, emotions, and relationships, helping them to better understand themselves and others. Through discussions, activities and group work, they developed skills in recognising emotions, building positive relationships and supporting one another.
The sessions provided a safe and supportive space for pupils to share ideas, reflect on their experiences and learn strategies to help them manage different situations. It was wonderful to see how confidently pupils engaged, contributed and supported each other throughout the programme.
To celebrate their hard work and commitment, pupils were presented with certificates, and they were very proud to show these in our group photo with Matthew. πΈβ¨
A huge thank you to Matthew for delivering such valuable and engaging sessions. We are very proud of all our pupils for their maturity, honesty and positive attitude during this block of learning. Well done everyone! π
