It's Wednesday again which can only mean that today is Well-Being Wednesday. As ever we hope and trust you are all keeping well. This week we have a number of activities we would like you to consider.
- The 3 Minute Gratitude Journal Inside your school packs you should find this journal. Thank you to the PSG for funding this through the “WRAP” programme for all pupils. This book is a guide to encourage an attitude of gratitude and is designed to focus on being thankful for what we have, the big things in life, as well as the simple joys. Each spread contains space to list out three things you are thankful for, a person who brought you joy and how you felt about your day. If you start each day by writing down three things you are thankful for - a family, a favourite person, starting a good book etc - you begin each day on the right note. Do it daily and make it a habit to focus on the blessings you have been given!
- "Which Of My Skills Am I Grateful For?" In this poster, children are encouraged to think about how they can use their skills to help others.
If your child is unsure, help them with examples
- "Find The Positive In Every Situation" This poster encourages your child find the positives in a
seemingly negative situation.
