Well Being Wednesday 10th February

Well Being Wednesday

At this moment in time, our priority has to be looking after the health and mental well-being of the children.  We had such lovely feedback last week, from parents and pupils to say how much they enjoyed being told to enjoy themselves.  Also, it was lovely to hear that parents said that they took the opportunity to sit down and relax with their children too, much needed R&R.  If we were in school, the children would enjoy golden time, their time to choose and the opportunity to lead their own learning.  We want to encourage the children to enjoy activities and find ways to express themselves and have fun!

 

So, we are keeping aspects of Well Being Wednesday but reducing it to half a day.  Have a look back at last week’s activities (the link is at the very bottom of the class page), if you did not get chance to do some of them, have a try this week.  If you particularly enjoyed one – do it again!  It’s your afternoon, for you to do something that you enjoy, that makes you feel good.  The teachers are also taking it in turns to add some new activities that you might like to try, so have a look at those too at the bottom of this page.

Alternatively, here are some ideas below for children to try on their own, with a brother or sister, with a grown up or with a friend on Zoom. 

  • Have karaoke competition and dance-off?
  • Bake something together.
  • Have an arts and crafts afternoon.
  • Build with LEGO.
  • Do some art tutorials on youtube together.
  • Have a movie afternoon and watch your favourite movie.
  • Build an indoor den.
  • Go for a bike ride as your daily exercise.
  • Have a virtual playdate with a friend over zoom.
  • Play dress up.
  • Have a spa afternoon!
  • Make models using recycled boxes and bottles.
  • Do some yoga (Cosmic yoga has some good sessions).
  • Plan and make food to have for an indoor picnic.
  • Learn to play board games.
  • Do simple origami together.
