Clapham Manor Primary School
The workshop at Clapham Manor primary school was a customised package. It was an after school ticketed event, opened to parents and children across the school.
Here is what I did...
This was a popular event and tickets sold out.
Trisomy 13 was unknown to the children, parents and staff. They had some awareness about disabilities but little to no experience or knowledge about tube feeding, and the impact of life living with a person with complex needs.
Through our workshop, the children and adults learned about tube feeding, different types of disabilities including visible and hidden disabilities. The participants were of mixed ages and were able to learn from one another as we discussed and shared what they understood . The younger children particularly enjoyed the feely box experience and wearing the ‘JamJam Can’ mask and cape. This experience allowed them to explore items without using their vision and draw on their other senses to describe what item they had.
It was amazing to see the parents and children dancing and singing together during the ‘JamJam Can’ theme song. I could hear them humming and singing even after the session had ended. Parents are able to purchase and receive signed copies of JamJam Can!
The participation from the adults and children was brilliant, the children answered the questions to recap the session with confidence showing their understanding and learning about disabilities. All left feeling empowered.
The feedback was unanimous that all would attend another workshop.
