Day 4 – Thursday 4th February 2021
Good morning and happy Thursday everyone!
For day 4 of Children’s Mental Health Week, we are going to be embracing the theme Express Yourself. There are so many different ways to express yourself, this may be painting or drawing, building something but my favourite is dancing!
Open the link below to lots of super songs that will have you up and moving, toe tapping and dancing yourself silly! Go on, dance like no one is watching and express yourself! I do this in my house in the kitchen and it is great fun!
After all that movement you could now practice your mindfulness, yesterday I shared breathing techniques which help to calm both the body ad the mind. I have shared three news ones in the link below.
Now that you are feeling calmer in both your body and mind, sit somewhere comfortable for today’s lovely stories.
Activity – Worry Dolls
Did you know that worry dolls come from Guatemala, a country in South America. According to legend, it is said that before you go to sleep, you can tell your worry doll your worries then place your doll under your pillow. The next morning, all your worries will have become much smaller or maybe even gone away!
Activity – Make your own worry doll or choose a toy you already have to be your worry toy that you share your thoughts with.
Remember we all have worries and we miss our friends and family, but it won’t be long until we can reunite again, which will make it all that more special. All the teachers at Dunlop ECC cannot wait to see you on the 22nd February.
with warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
