For our first Personal Development Day of the year we chose the theme of Hygge – a Danish concept embodying cosiness and contentment – for learners to enjoy a fun-filled day of relaxing and wellbeing sessions and opportunities to embrace the cold. From board games and a food workshop, to Ice Skating and time on our Ladybridge Farm, there was a full range of Hyggelic activities that learners could enjoy in their cosiest, comfiest clothes.
Take a look at some of the images that represent our wonderful Hygge day, by clicking on the arrow in each heading for the sections below:
Over 500 learners enjoyed a visit to Planet Ice, with inexperienced skaters showing lots of Resilience on the ice as they honed their skills and more experienced skaters showcasing their artistic talents! It was wonderful to see lots of Teamwork and Kindness from our groups, with some of our older learners lending a helping hand to younger novices. Our staff did an excellent job of keeping everyone happy and safe!
Our Ladybridge Farm provided the perfect setting to connect with nature, with learners enjoying forest school session time around the campfire, toasting marshmallows and sharing stories. Our lovely, resident critters gave lots of wellbeing cuddles too!
Classic games and puzzles gave learners the opportunity to engage in fun activities and demonstrate excellent Teamwork skills!
Our Caterlink team kindly provided a demonstration in The Hub on how to create a range of delicious pastries with a variety of flavours and also supported learners with their culinary skills. The results were incredible!
We were fortunate to welcome Seek 2 Change into school to support our Personal Development Day with sessions offering an in-depth understanding of the values that guide a Muslim’s life, supporting self-development and interfaith understanding.
Other sessions involved creating Rangoli pattern designs and preparing items for the Hygge Christmas Market; learners made sweet cones and used charcoal from the farm to decorate pallets reflecting our WISDOM qualities.
