Onslow St Audreys School, Hatfield, AL10 8AB
Tue 25th February 2020
Time: 1600
An awareness session for all on youth violence, gangs, county lines and more.
Would you know the signs to look out for if your child was being groomed into criminality? Do you know what County Lines means? Do you know what your child gets up to when they are out with friends?
If you are a parent, guardian, carer or you are close to a young person then this session is for you.
This awareness session explores issues such as gangs, knife crime, youth violence and county lines. How to spot the signs of youth violence within young people, what to do if you have a concern and what services are available to support you.
You will hear talks from Tracy Hanson from The Josh Hanson Trust who sadly lost her son Josh to knife crime in 2015 and Gavin McKenna an ex-gang member from Reach Every Generation. Both talks will explore how you as parents, guardians and family of young people can be more aware of issues young people are currently facing, how to spot the signs of vulnerabilities and how to access support for you and your family should you need it
There are two sessions one from 1600 - 1730 bookable here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/youth-violence-awareness-session-4pm-tickets-88661395621 and one at 1830 - 2000 bookable here: http://youthviolenceawareness2.eventbrite.co.uk/

Teens and Sleep: The Importance for Well-being
Fleetville Junior School, 228 Hatfield Road, St Albans, AL1 4LW
Wed 4th March 2020
Times: 7.15pm
It is very common for young people, and adults, to have difficulty sleeping. It is normal to struggle with sleep around important events, even positive ones such as parties or holidays. One or two nights of poor sleep does not necessarily forecast a problem and most young people can cope with that and catch up. However, if someone has been sleeping badly for a few weeks, this may be a good time to try and change things.
Sleep problems can sometimes be triggered by something bad or difficult happening. For example, being bullied or having negative experiences with friends can lead to trouble sleeping. Young people are also often under pressure from school to perform well in exams or coursework, and may be involved in other hobbies that bring pressure from competitions or exams. However, sometimes sleep problems seem to appear out of the blue. This is not uncommon in young people due to natural changes in sleep cycles that arrive with adolescence.
Our speaker is an expert in the field of sleep and adolescent wellbeing. In this talk she will discuss the changes in sleep that occur during adolescence, its effect on school work and mental wellbeing, and practical things that that can be done to promote better sleep. These techniques can also be useful for all members of the family.more...

Teens and Sleep: The Importance for Well-being
Fleetville Junior School, 228 Hatfield Road, St Albans, AL1 4LW
Wed 4th March 2020
Times: 7.15pm
It is very common for young people, and adults, to have difficulty sleeping. It is normal to struggle with sleep around important events, even positive ones such as parties or holidays. One or two nights of poor sleep does not necessarily forecast a problem and most young people can cope with that and catch up. However, if someone has been sleeping badly for a few weeks, this may be a good time to try and change things.
Sleep problems can sometimes be triggered by something bad or difficult happening. For example, being bullied or having negative experiences with friends can lead to trouble sleeping. Young people are also often under pressure from school to perform well in exams or coursework, and may be involved in other hobbies that bring pressure from competitions or exams. However, sometimes sleep problems seem to appear out of the blue. This is not uncommon in young people due to natural changes in sleep cycles that arrive with adolescence.
Our speaker is an expert in the field of sleep and adolescent wellbeing. In this talk she will discuss the changes in sleep that occur during adolescence, its effect on school work and mental wellbeing, and practical things that that can be done to promote better sleep. These techniques can also be useful for all members of the family.more...

Freckle Productions and Rose Original Productions present Zog By Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
Large in size, and keen in nature, Zog is so eager to win a golden star at Madam Dragon's school, where dragons learn all the things that dragons need to know. Zog tries so very hard, perhaps too hard, and he bumps, burns and roars his way through years one, two and three. Luckily, the plucky Princess Pearl patches him up ready to face his biggest challenge yet...a duel with knight, Sir Gadabout the Great!
The smash-hit stage adaptation from Freckle Productions (the team behind Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales and Tabby McTat) is back in 2020 and promises to be bigger, brighter and more roar-some than ever before! With brand new songs from Joe Stilgoe (The Jungle Book, The Midnight Gang) and directed by Emma Kilbey, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's much-loved Zog is a magical production for all ages.more...

Eight contemporary artists present their work and consider plastic's potential to become something more treasured, look at how hastily we consume and dispose of it, its environmental impact and its future role in society. Including installations, sculpture, film and photography, Plastic Matter is a unique group show bringing together works from Seyi Adelekun, Maria Arceo, Camilla Brendon, Hilary Jack, David Kefford, Steve McPherson, Jill Townsley and Daniel Webb.

For children learning about the impact of climate change and how we must reduce our use of plastics, Plastic Matter is a topical, thought-provoking and stunning exhibition to explore. Eight contemporary artists present their work and consider plastic's potential to become something more treasured, look at how hastily we consume and dispose of it, its environmental impact and its future role in society. Including installations, sculpture, film and photography, Plastic Matter is a unique group show bringing together works from Seyi Adelekun, Maria Arceo, Camilla Brendon, Hilary Jack, David Kefford, Steve McPherson, Jill Townsley and Daniel Webb.

For children learning about the impact of climate change and how we must reduce our use of plastics, Plastic Matter is a topical, thought-provoking and stunning exhibition to explore. Eight contemporary artists present their work and consider plastic's potential to become something more treasured, look at how hastily we consume and dispose of it, its environmental impact and its future role in society. Including installations, sculpture, film and photography, Plastic Matter is a unique group show bringing together works from Seyi Adelekun, Maria Arceo, Camilla Brendon, Hilary Jack, David Kefford, Steve McPherson, Jill Townsley and Daniel Webb.
If you haven't been to the University before, there's an active events and exhibition programme - that isn't just for students! See the website for opening times of the Gallery and other venues.

Our head chef will bake some delicious cupcakes for kids to decorate with coloured icing, sprinkles and sweets (Wednesday 15th April).
Or why not get your budding gardeners to plant their own lavender plant in a terracotta pot for them to take away and care for at home. (Friday 17th April)
Don't forget to dress kids in old clothes, as both activities can get messy! Plus our restaurant will be serving a range of delicious children's food, so why not drop in before or after your activity.
