The Present provides a spiral well-being curriculum to enable schools to introduce mindful activities in an incremental way throughout the primary school.
It can be integrated into activities that typically take place in any primary classroom throughout the school day. These activities might include eating, movement, writing, listening to stories, sensing or relating to others, amongst many other possibilities.
The aim is to introduce mindfulness through how you engage in the activities rather than change what you deliver.

The Present also introduces the children to different awareness practices and information about their brain to compliment the daily classroom activities across the curriculum. These develop into a spiral curriculum throughout the primary phase.

The Present takes particular account of the developing and changing needs of children throughout the primary phase. For example. by Y6 it explores issues such as social media, puberty and body awareness, transition and relationships.
