PSHE LIFE
Workshops
The Robbie Rocket Foundation's aims and core values centre around the health and wellbeing of children, encouraging children to be honest, being fair to others, respect, sportsmanship, increasing self esteem and being aware of the effect of their actions on others and being a good citizen. To realise these aims, we have prepared a programme of PSHE Lifeskills Workshops to be delivered to primary School children in their school environment, our workshops are a tool to aid the programme of study Schools use for PSHE. Each session has been developed in line with the DfE's National Curriculum Framework guidance to promote good behaviour, health and wellbeing in schools throughout the UK. All schools should make provision for PSHE education, drawing on good practice. (DfE National Curriculum Framework, section 2.5)
Our workshops are based around our children’s story book, the adventures of Robbie Rocket, with the book being read to the children with coloured illustrations being shown on a big screen, the children will also take part in physical activities and thought provoking question and answer sessions to ensure the learning is revisited and reinforced.
The children find the book really exciting and fall in love with all the characters, especially Robbie Rocket, which helps them take on board the essential life skills needed for their future.
Every workshop offered by The Robbie Rocket Foundation is age and stage appropriate and lasts for just over an hour, although this can be tailored to your School timetable.
Our objectives are:
- - To underpin schools' National Curriculum Framework PSHE provision, supporting a "Broad and balanced curriculum that promotes their good behaviour and safety", as identified in Ofsted's 2013 PSHE Education Report.
- - To facilitate the fulfilment of a school's statutory responsibility to: "support their pupils' spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life", as set out in section 78 of the Education Act 2002.
- - To offer a unique learning opportunity based on the book; The Adventures of Robbie Rocket, promoting pupils' understanding of the key concepts of self esteem, anti bullying, honesty, fair play, teamwork, taking responsibility of their actions, making friends, valuing differences, valuing yourself and living a safe, healthy & active lifestyle.
We invite schools to use our PSHE Life Education Workshops to build on their own PSHE activities as part of a whole school approach and prepare their pupils for life, now and in the future.
We look forward to being part of your School.

Book
The Adventures of Robbie Rocket
Robbie Rocket is the lead character in Rob Green's self-published Children's Book; The Adventures of Robbie Rocket. The story follows an aspiring young footballer as he faces rejection, ridicule and bullying which results in a lack of confidence and low self-esteem.
Robbie's life changes when he is taken to a magical place called Soccer Island. There he meets a new set of friends who teach him how to respect himself and achieve his goals.
In the NSPCC's 2015 Annual Review, a reported 35,244 counselling sessions due to low self esteem and unhappiness were held in the UK between March 2014 and April 2015. Rob identified some synergy between the messages of his book and the findings of children's services and decided to develop a programme of workshops to help schools within their PSHE remit to help raise morale and confidence in children.
Rob has used his book and the characters portrayed to encourage kindness, self esteem, honesty, being fair, being a good citizen and treating others with respect.
The Robbie Rocket Foundation offers a unique opportunity for schools to introduce pupils to the Robbie Rocket principals of active lifestyle, healthy living and respect for others. Rob hopes that you too will see the beneficial teaching tool The Adventures of Robbie Rocket could be.
The Robbie Rocket Foundation staff not only teach our children to lead a healthy and active lifestyle through Sport but also teach our children valuable life skills which enhance the aims and core values we promote at our school.

SCHOOLS PE
MOVEMENT THROUGH MATHS WORKSHOPS FOR PRE SCHOOL AND EARLY YEARS At The Robbie Rocket Foundation we have recognised that physical education at an early stage in a child’s life is so important in helping children lead an active lifestyle. We believe that encouraging children at a young age to exercise regularly will prevent children from becoming obese in adult life. We have developed various active lifestyle workshops for children aged 3 to 7 years old where children interact and copy the attention grabbing fun activities Robbie Rocket performs on the big screen. The exercises involve various Maths games including counting and times tables, an excellent way to help the children actively learn. We can come to your school or nursery and provide our active lifestyles workshops for your children, which will not only provide fun, energetic and active exercises but also enhance the essential elements of the Maths curriculum. HIGH QUALITY PE LESSONS IN THE CURRICULUM We have recently recruited several education advisors who have a vast knowledge of the PE curriculum through degrees in sport Development and education. They specialise in providing your school with support through every stage of the school year process. Our aim is to exceed all expectations your school has for PE and sport, and provide everything needed to allow potential to be fulfilled. Our services include: Teaching staff will also benefit from:

After School Child Care
Our Healthy & Active Lifestyle Childcare provision offers a unique concept in children’s after-school care. We believe our sessions offer childcare that makes a real difference; promoting health, safety and well being through professionally led physical activities and learning about healthy eating.
The Robbie Rocket Foundation’s aims and core values centre around the health and wellbeing of children, our after school childcare sessions provide 3 hours of fun with rewards to recognise achievement and good behaviour.
Working parents and carers enjoy peace of mind knowing that their child is safe, happy and healthy. School children enjoy extended social time with their friends. Schools gain a little extra income via facility hire of their school facilities. Parents and carers pay privately for the provision of Healthy & Active Lifestyle Childcare. The price includes a drink and a healthy evening meal so that parents and carers can be assured that their child has eaten before being collected; no more rushing to cook dinner after working all day!
Currently only available in Dorset and the surrounding areas, the Robbie Rocket Foundation is now poised to extend its Healthy & Active Lifestyle Childcare provision to selected schools across the UK. We would love to hear from parents and schools who would like to see our Healthy and Active Lifestyle Childcare sessions offered in their area. Drop us an email or call us for an informal chat.

Here is a quote from one of the mum's who's child attended our Holiday Club:
Hi Robbie,
Just wanted to drop you an email as Jack had such a great time last Friday. Usually I only get Good or OK when I ask about his day, but he couldn't tell me enough about the activities, the other children and yourself.
So thanks for giving him a fabulous day, he's looking forward to the next time he can come!
Thanks,
Ruth
