Health and Social Care Learners Run Creative Activities at Healthy Living Centre

A group of Weston College Level 1 and 2 Health and Social Care learners recently participated in a special initiative at the Healthy Living Centre on the Bourneville. The learners demonstrated their exceptional skills and commitment by organising and leading creative activities aimed at supporting social and emotional development for the EXTEND toddler group. 

The enthusiastic learners showcased their dedication to the field of health and social care by engaging with parents and children from the EXTEND toddler group in a nurturing and supportive environment. The activities were designed to promote emotional wellbeing and facilitate social interaction among the young participants. 

Throughout the session, the Weston College learners exhibited commendable confidence and exceptional communication skills. Their empathetic approach created a warm and inclusive atmosphere, fostering an environment where children and parents felt comfortable and encouraged to express themselves. 

The creative activities encompassed various forms of expressive arts and interactive play, encouraging children to explore their emotions, develop their social skills, and express their creativity. The learners' resourcefulness and adaptability were evident as they tailored the activities to meet the individual needs and preferences of the children, ensuring a meaningful experience for all. 

This opportunity not only allowed the learners to gain hands-on experience in their respective discipline but also provided them with a valuable opportunity to observe and understand the practical application of the theories and concepts they have learned in the classroom. 

Excellent work!
