INSET Day


"Today is the first day of the rest of my life", that was the brilliant opening line from one of the teachers in Bushmead Primary School, Luton. Under the instructions of BREIS, they were given the task of creating a collective rap verse about New Year resolutions. The most popular one being laying off the biscuits and chocolates. They then went on to express their thoughts on the gloomy Government cut backs.

Plenty of fun was had by all, the session had games, performances, ice breakers, writing exercises and tips. On this day the teachers became students and got a taste of being a child again and having fun whilst learning. Teachers have the hard task of getting through the curriculum whilst making it interesting and engaging. Fun and learning can't always go together but it's beautiful when you can have a sprinkling of fun time during a long day in school. We'd love to have a Student of Life practitioner deliver something fun,creative and enlightening in every school nationwide with teachers and also with students.

Science of Rap workshops

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH RAP
The Science of Rap is a fun, cross – curricular workshop that encourages young people to take a greater interest in science. Fusing rap with Science, our stimulating and creative workshops cover the core topics in Biology, Physics and Chemistry and are in line with the National Curriculum learning objectives and QCA requirements for key stages 2 and 3. This initiative from Student of Life presents ways of revising Science for the students and acts as the perfect learning support for your class lessons.
