Mental health awareness week

This week is the mental health foundation’s mental health awareness week. The theme this year is nature. This activity pack contains lots of activities and suggestions for children and tips for supporting their mental wellbeing by connecting with nature.

There is also lots of information and tips on the website on how you can support your mental wellbeing by connecting with nature: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/campaigns/mental-health-awareness-week

I would love to see or hear about anything you do this week to connect with nature! Please share them with me via email – megan.hardy@taw.org.uk.

Self-care bingo

This has been a term of mixed emotions and hard work, especially for the children, and everybody deserves a well-earned rest! Here is a self-care bingo which is a great idea to encourage children to look after themselves and do things to make themselves feel good, even if they are staying at home!

Happy Easter everyone, well done for so much hard work and positivity this term!

Rocksteady Music Lessons

Rocksteady music lessons have resumed with a bang since school has reopened and it is great to see and hear how much the children are enjoying them. Rocksteady lessons are a fantastic opportunity for children to have fun learning an instrument (keyboard, guitar, drums, singing) with their peers in a modern style. This week, children will be watching a short video from our NJS band leader Becky with some information on what is involved in the lessons. Here is a letter with details of how to contact Rocksteady to enrol your child.
