Hi Primary 1,

I hope you all enjoyed the story book that I posted on Monday’s literacy blog – ‘Everybody Worries’ by Jon Burgerman –  a book for children who may have worries about the Coronavirus.  

Here it is again, in case you missed it on Monday…

Everybody Worries

As it is mental health awareness week I thought you might like a couple of wee activities about this during the week.  Today the focus is worry.  Have a think about some things that you worry about.

Remember the book Lucy’s Blue Day – It’s ok not to be ok!

 

It also helps to talk about things that you are worried about with other people and not keep it all to yourself.  Talking about it makes us feel better.

Talk with an adult about some things that worry you and what kind of things you could do to feel better when you are worried….

Talk to an adult about what is making you feel worried

Take deep breaths

Count to 5

Do some exercise

Cuddle someone in your family, or a teddy

 

Here is the link to Mrs McMillan’s You Tube channel called Take a Moment with Mrs McMillan.  It has some more strategies you could use when you are feeling worried and anxious.
