Why Circus Skills?
- Improves coordination and communication skills, encourages listening skills
- non competitive physical activity where all pupils participate equally
- hands on and practical, encourages teamwork
- allows any pupil to shine through kinesthetic learning
- good basis for project work (art, maths, PE, creative writing)
- can be continued in break-time and club activities
- because it is fun and brings some colour and excitement into school!
How Long are the Sessions?
Full day – 15 minute assembly then 4 one hour sessions.
Half day – 15 minute assembly then 2 one hour sessions.
