Circus inspiration
Lucas always includes a high end circus show at the start of every school day. Complete with a beautiful backdrop and circus ring mat, your school hall will be transformed into a big top. The high energy and super skill level tricks make Lucas a cult hero in some schools around the country. Performing first also means the pupils have an amazing focus when it comes to the circus workshop part of the school day.
Growth mindset
It's a real pleasure to see that special moment when a pupil finally manages to spin a plate. Teaching children that there is a value in failure. Particularly in a world where everything is available at the click of a button, it feels more important than ever to find new ways to engage children in different ways of using their brain and their body.

Why would a school book a circus skills visit from Lucas Jet?
Circus skills play a vital role in nurturing confidence and fostering a growth mindset among pupils. Here's how: Overcoming Challenges: Learning circus skills involves mastering challenging feats, such as juggling, diabolo or unicycling. Whilst our sessions are often brief, pupils will show signs of progression and they experience a sense of accomplishment, boosting their self-assurance and belief in their abilities. Resilience and Perseverance: Circus skills demands perseverance. Pupils must practice and endure through failures and falls. This resilience cultivates a growth mindset by teaching them that improvement comes through effort and learning from mistakes. Positive Reinforcement: Encouragement and positive feedback from Lucas, the teachers and peers are an integral part of our circus day. This reinforcement fosters a growth mindset by emphasizing the value of effort, practice, and improvement. Briefly, circus skills empower pupils to develop self-confidence by overcoming challenges, building resilience, and embracing a growth mindset. The lessons learned extend beyond the big top, benefitting their approach to learning and life in general. Plus it's just a really fun day for the whole school, pupils and staff alike.
