"I suck at this." 💭

This morning I was running a school PE session when I heard one of the boys say this about himself. 😔

I had to stop the lesson and call everyone in. 💬

Many of these Year 6 children then shared some of the unkind things they say to themselves...

"I'm no good."

"I can't do it."

Children are taught to be kind to each other...

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀?

The most important voice they'll ever hear is their own.

That's why, in every single class, I make sure children leave believing in themselves a little more than when they arrived. 💙🥋

𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦 🎯

Research suggests that structured physical activity can help support the development of 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀.🧠

Every game, every drill and every smile is helping children build confidence, focus and life skills for school and beyond. 🥋💙

Before they can build confidence,
they need to feel safe. 🛡️

That's the environment we work hard to create
in every class. 💙

When children feel safe, supported and encouraged, amazing things happen. 🥋✨

🌟 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 - 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗶🌟

When Heidi first joined us, her family were looking for more than just a martial arts class.

They wanted somewhere that would help her build discipline, confidence and learn the skills to keep herself safe.

Fast forward to today...

💙 Her confidence has grown.
💙 She enjoys being active even more.
💙 What we're most proud of is seeing how much her focus has improved.

Heidi loves practising her kicks, seeing her friends and learning with her instructors.

It's been a pleasure watching your journey so far, Heidi. Keep up the fantastic work - we're all so proud of you! 🥋👏

We take FUN very seriously round here 🔫😅

It's a sad day when a child finds learning boring

That's when they switch off and lose interest 😴

Children naturally love to learn and ask questions 💬

I just want to create the best possible environment for them to feel safe, step outside of their comfort zone and reach their potential 🚀 supporting and encouraging them every step of the way 👏

🔥 RAWCLIFFE 🔥 wow you guys are incredible in YO30! Obviously... this is on my doorstep we have to bring the energy and focus every single week ⚡🎯
