Llama Drama [Happy Heart Explorers (SEND/Sensory-Friendly)] (4 - 9yrs)

confident and included. This class is aimed at children who are home educated and in the equivalent primary school year groups of EYFS-Y4 although this is only guidance and may be suitable for younger/older children than this age. It is suitable for children with Special Educational Needs and is open and inclusive to all children. Classes are run by a fully-qualified, DBS checked teacher with 18 years of teaching experience. Here are a few things to keep in mind about this particular class: • You are encouraged to join in! Parent/carer participation can be a wonderful support for children and you’re very welcome to take part in the activities alongside them. • If you prefer not to join in, you may stay and watch quietly. To help us maintain a calm environment, please refrain from chatting within the session space. You’re very welcome to use the side room for any conversations or catch-ups with other families. • If you do stay to watch, please support your child where needed and help reinforce the calm atmosphere throughout the session. • Of course, all children are welcome to participate in their own way: whether that’s verbalising, vocalising, moving around or simply observing. However, if you’re able to gently support your child in being mindful of others’ needs - particularly around sudden or loud noises - that’s really appreciated, as we do have some children who are very sensitive to this. • A big part of this class will be encouraging empathy and awareness: helping all children to better understand and respect each other’s needs, differences and ways of engaging.
