Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Wellbeing Week

Children have really enjoyed all our activities for Wellbeing Week.

For Mindful Monday we focused on being mindful through our breathing, mindful walks through the forest garden, colouring and mindful moments.
On Thoughtful Tuesday we focused on how we can be kind to ourselves and others.
Wellness Wednesday’s focus was Rainbow Moments, thinking about all of the little moments during the day when good things happen and focusing on them.
For Thankful Thursday, students, we spent time thinking about all of the many things and people we are grateful for. Pupils wrote poems and made thank you cards.
Tomorrow is Friendship Friday we will be discussing what makes a good friend and how we can show friendship to others.

Student Council

Members from the Student Council supported our Wellbeing week by sharing some ideas on the intercom every day and they did a fantastic job!!
