Brilliant Me!

Please note that this is a four-day course, where each day the children will be able to build on the previous days learning. While we appreciate that you may not be able to attend one of the days, we encourage you to attend as many as possible to get the most out of our course!

Learn to think more positively and let go of perfectionism, moving from 'I can't', to 'I can't YET'.

There will be a mixture of games, challenges, stories and activities all delivered by our Role Models who are experienced with working with this age range of children. There will be breaks built into the structure of the day including a 60-minute play during the catered lunch break.

Our courses are built on these three elements:
Active learning,
Ambitious content,
Serious fun!

This course uses the power of storytelling and creative activities to help children build the confidence to take risks and make mistakes. 'Brilliant Billy the Bunny’ accompanies the children throughout the course to help them navigate their emotions in a fun and supportive environment.

Each day, two stories are shared with the children based around the power of our mindset. Each story is followed by a creative activity which helps them link the learning from the story to their everyday lives. Daily mindfulness activities are included to help the children learn to manage their emotions.

An example story shared during the week is the fantastic ‘Beautiful Oops’ by Barney Saltzberg. This book encourages the children to understand that when we think we’ve made a mistake, we should think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful. Through looking at the illustrations, the children reflect on how they feel about the mistakes they make; every smudge, spill, and failed drawing can be the beginning of something new and exciting. After reading the inspiring book, the children are then challenged to turn a range of ‘mistakes’ into new opportunities.

Our courses have been written by our Character Education team who are highly qualified educators with over 24 years of teaching experience. Our content emphasises the importance of developing essential key life skills alongside academic attainment, in order to thrive in life.

Each day the role model will email you a summary, describing what was covered so you can discuss it with your child. They may also include photos of your child taking part in the activities (if consent has been given).

At the end of the course you'll receive a set of top-tips on how you can support the development of life skills at home.

Your child will receive a branded official certificate to recognise completion of the course.
You'll also receive a written report from the Role Model working with your child, highlighting their strengths and areas for further development.
