	<link>https://www.droxfordjunior.co.uk/news/?pid=3&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=61</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>Sophie Plato Workshop - 1st July between 6:00pm and 7:00pm</p>

<p>We are delighted to offer a free workshop, led by Sophie Plato, a Movement and Wellbeing Coach, to support with knowledge, strategies and guidance in looking after ourselves as parents. A poster with further details of this exciting event is attached.</p>

<p>Sophie has a wealth of experience sharing her knowledge with major businesses and schools in the state and private sector.&nbsp;She also teaches Pilates in Hampshire and has led similar activities in Europe.</p>

<p><em>&quot;My mission is to help create space within the human mind and nervous system to allow for conscious, proactive parenting rather than reactive, stressed-out parenting. It really does start with us. Feeling empowered and inspired to put our own health first, no matter our situation or circumstance, makes a huge difference in the way we perceive, interact with, and interpret our children and the world around us.&quot;&nbsp;Sophie Plato</em></p>

<p>There will be optional &lsquo;movement&rsquo; activities at the end of the session after any FAQs.&nbsp;Drinks and nibbles provided. We will open the recreation ground for parking.</p>

<p>Thank you for those that have already emailed to secure a place, if you would like to attend please let us know by emailing the school office as soon as possible.</p>
