For those parents and carers new to Cathedral, each month we focus on one of the wellbeing indicators displayed in the above wheel. In class, pupils reflect on and assess their own health and wellbeing and complete their individual wellbeing wheel. At the beginning of each month, prompts for the particular indicator are also posted on our wesbite newsfeed to support parents and carers to talk to their child about their health and wellbeing. PLEASE SEE PROMPTS FOR THIS MONTH’S INDICATOR (SAFE) BELOW.
These learners from Primary 5/6 were starting to think ahead to September’s wellbeing indicator and were excited to show Mr Young the wellbeing wheel they’d built during a learner-led technology session. How innovative!
September’s wellbeing indicator is SAFE. Please use the prompts below to talk to your child about this indicator. This will help them complete their wellbeing wheel in school.
