Wonder-ful students

QE’s Leisure Studies students recently enjoyed working with younger pupils at Dunn Street Primary School in Jarrow. As part of their course, the QE students have to carry out an event management unit.  In order to do this, they looked at healthy lifestyle but through the theme of Alice in Wonderland, to fit in with the school’s programme of learning.  The students produced a range of activities including Mad Hatter hat making, a study unit on healthy eating – what should Alice eat – along with a range of other activities. The students produced all of the resources needed and delivered the activities as part of a team.

QE student Josh Brown comments, ” I didn’t realise quite how much went into an event. However I really enjoyed working with the children, and they also seemed to enjoy the activities we planned”
