So we have reached the final day of our first week, learning at home.

It has been very different to what a school week would normally be like. My routine has changed and this still feels strange. I’m going to make sense of this by doing a ‘reflection’ of my week.

When we want to feel good, even at difficult times, we try hard to think about things in a positive way. Thinking of all the bad things just makes us feel worse than we already do and that isn’t healthy.

There are lots of ways to reflect… you can discuss the questions and talk to someone about it, you can write down your own thoughts in a jotter, or you can answer Reflective Questions that give your thoughts a focus.  This is what I am doing. If you would like to answer some reflective questions, together or by yourself, you can use the link below to take you to a place to do this.

 

• I’m going to start my reflection with one thing that I am THANKFUL for this week –                                                                                                                                                                                        this week I am most thankful that even though we aren’t able to go to school, we are still able to communicate with each other.

 

• Next I’m going to think about how I have COMMUNICATED with others this week –                                                                                                                                                                                        this week I have created this Blog, to communicate with children and families about their learning. I have taken part in P7s challenges and posted onto their teams page and I have followed twitter and seen what some of the children have been doing at home.

• Something that I really ENJOYED or LEARNED this week                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            this week I really enjoyed learning how to make a blog to share learning activities with the Carmuirs Families.

 

• Now I’m going to think about something that has WORRIED me this week                                                                                                                                                                                                            this week I’ve been worried about not being able to see my children, my grandchildren and my friends for a long time.

 

• So what will I do to help myself to FEEL BETTER                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          this week I will talk to my friend on the telephone, I will facetime my grandchildren every day for 10 minutes and when I feel sad I will say out loud ‘This is NOT forever, we only need to live differently for a short time and then we can all be together again’.

• My last thing to think about is something that I found DIFFICULT this week                                                                                                                                                                                                          this week I didn’t do enough exercise. I found it difficult to want to jump and move about.

• So what will I do DIFFERENT next week                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          next week I will go for a  20 minute walk every day.
