Mental Health is when you feel happy and healthy in your mind. Eating healthily, being active, getting enough sleep and going outside to get fresh air are all things that can help our minds stay healthy.

SLEEP CHALLENGES-

– Karen in P7 challenges you to get the recommended sleep schedule for your age.

– Matas in P4 challenges you to go to bed early.

– Chantelle in P5 challenges you to listen to relaxing music to help you sleep.

 

HEALTHY EATING CHALLENGE-

– Nia and Aria in P3 challenge you to eat 5 fruit or vegetables a day.

– Carys in P5 challenges you to make healthy swaps like salad instead of chips.

– Dana in P6 challenges you to make a healthy recipe.

 

FRESH AIR CHALLENGE-

Welcome to Primary 5!  I am so excited to be back in school and in our classroom – can’t wait to see you all on Thursday.  I know it’s not a new classroom for you but it does look a little bit different.

I will be posting some activities on your Team page tomorrow morning – Ms Thomson’s P5 Falla Hill – and hope to hear from you on there.  Everyone in school has already been working hard so that we all have a good start to the new school year – see you all on Thursday!

Library Information – new e-Books and e-Audio books

2 Comments

Every child in West Lothian can be a West Lothian library member and that is exactly what the libraries endeavour to do – engage with and register as many children as possible.  If your child is not already a library member and you are interested in their child becoming a library member then they can simply complete the online application here: http://bit.ly/Join-WL-libraries. After completion you will be sent the child’s membership information and will have access to our digital resources and all of our libraries when we reopen.

During the lockdown they have significantly increased the collection of children’s e-Books and e-Audio books.  These can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/WLlibebooksChildren

They also have also purchased e-Books and e-audio books which allow multiple downloads, so there are no waiting lists for these.  The latest addition is Flying Fergus, The Great Cycle Challenge by Sir Chris Hoy and this can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/FlyingFergusTgcc

The e-audio books are particularly good for younger children providing them with their own personal story times, often with famous actors or even the authors themselves narrating.

If you require any assistance on the use of these resources or library membership applications please do not hesitate to contact the libraries at this email – library.info@westlothian.gov.uk
