💚SEND safety during my shows…

I have no problem at all with SEND being in the room during my sessions as you all know. I have techniques to help them get involved and join in and have even learnt sign language. Yet, If they are children that I call runners which may be running behind me or grabbing animals etc then the TA or parent with them must be on the ball. If the children are able to touch things with my help then the TA must be able to help with the handling too. Also if they are too disruptive for the session which may hinder the other children's learning or my ability to teach then I may ask them to be taken out until they calm down.
I have had a few incidents with the 121 TAs not keeping up with the SEN children and the kids grabbing things from behind me. So from a safety point of view I need to mention it.
Please note it for the future..
Thanks Jo xx
EDIT- in no way is this meant to be labelling or offensive towards adults with SEND children or reliants. It is for the safety of your children, my animals and myself during the display. It also relates to maybe a few lively nursery children which may also be “runners”….
Catch em quick.. 🤣

8 million new pieces of plastic find their way into the sea each day. At this rate By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans. Unfathomable.. unacceptable..

😢That time of year again when all the vegetation dies down in the UK showing the absolute disgrace of our littering and fly tipping. I think every lay-by today on the A38 and A52 was covered in fly tipped trash… I just don’t get it? Why do people think it’s ok? When will our government allow all commercial waste to be disposed of at our recycling centres for free. This abuse of nature and ruining our world has to stop. I just can’t cope with seeing it every year.. 🥺🙏🌎💚
If you can get on board with my simple idea of “the one piece project” then please share… xx

⛔️ SLIGHT RANT… in no way does this reflect on the amazing school and my relationship with them…..
🤷‍♀️😂 Don’t we just love a troll making up nonsense. This is the second of two Janus reviews I’ve been left from this woman and her supposade cousin. Google has yet to remove this one. A few of us have reported it as false so hopefully it goes soon. I have spoken to the school who are amazing and the reviews are nothing to do with them at all. They accused my ‘male staff’😂🤷‍♀️ of which I have none of offending her culture by grabbing her forcefully and hurting her. And men should not be touching the women. I don’t understand how this is useful to anyone and what they get from it.
I’ve had enough of this Troll community lately, they are pathetic.. homophobes, transphobic comments, racism, cultural and religious prejudice… when will they realise they are the issue. We need more love for eachother, acceptance for all and if they don’t understand it then just keep their mouths shut… we need to be building bridges for eachother between cultures, gender identities, race, even ages.. not behaving in a way to separate us all. We need love for the earth, eachother and nature.. be lovers not fighters… teach compassion and if you know anyone that’s a troll and behaving as a complete muppet then please rein them in… this is my business and fake allegations like this start rumours and can ruin lives. Luckily im thick skinned and have a great relationship with my customers… 🥰🙏

A MASSIVE thank you and shout out to the AMAZING Jungle Jo! She is brilliant with kids and clearly loves her animals. Lenny has been fascinated with her for a couple of years now and it was a no brainer she was doing his party this year! The kids absolutely loved it! 🐍
