Bodyworks by CoolFire

• Each CoolFire:Connect week is based on extensive prior consultation with both the Headteacher & SENCO so that each school can maximise its use and positive impact.

• Every student experiences each of the CoolFire core workshops 1-3 - usually as part of their own class.

• The core workshops become the springboard into the continuing daily CoolFire practical routines - just 10-15 minutes a day using the teachers CoolFire PowerPack.

• Students use the CoolFire Processing sheets to briefly record their experiences - and learn from any discoveries and realisations from an exercise - before it’s forgotten.

• In the absence of an Early Provision or requirement, you may utilise workshop 4: Tap to Connect
