Here is what Lucy has tried to do

To make her feel a little less blue….

 

Lucy went in search of rainbows….

                                Have you made yours? 

Have you thought of keeping a diary ? There are many famous ones (Google Anne Frank!) that have been written and published over the years!

It is nice to have a record of events, thoughts and feelings at a particular time, to look back on. You could keep a diary in a jotter or notebook. There are many suggestions for layouts and designs online too. (Try Google Images – “Daily journal bulletins for kids”)

You maybe want to just record your highlights of  a day –

What made me smile today….

What made me laugh out loud…

What have I enjoyed doing most….

Journalling can help us stay in the moment and focus on the positives – which are Mindfulness skills.

A little bit of fun for all the family!

We are going to use this for creating a character this week P3-7 (just like our Christmas elves! ) Your class teachers will post the writing activities and all the details.

Let’s keep the inside of toilet rolls and kitchen rolls, in the next wee while,  and put them to good use!

All kind of boxes and containers can be used to make all kinds of models!

Here are a few to start you off!

Lucy is still feeling a little blue

So tried some new things to do…

.         A healthy snack

dance moves for ballet.

That is sure to lift her mood and make her feel a little less blue.

Lucy plans to look for rainbows over the weekend and maybe get some photos – maybe you could too!

Could you use this when you are out for a walk ?

There are a few “American things” in there, but you could make up your own pictures and stick them on top instead? Like road signs, school crossing signs, church tower and so on.

 

This is a way of helping us to focus on the good stuff right now (the second page is just how to make a dice if you don’t have one!)

Gratitude Game – Big Life Journal

Every school in West Lothian has a member of staff whose remit involves finding out about the latest developments in H and WB in Scotland, and beyond. We meet regularly and the group have other healthcare professionals who are part of the team for advice.

They are keen that at this point in time our children, young people, parents and families have access to information to support all aspects of our Wellbeing.

With this in mind, they have created a useful list of resources and websites which are detailed in the document below.

 

HEALTH and WELLBEING for BLOG

 

There is information to help children when they are feeling:

anxious

restless

angry or annoyed

difficulty sleeping

showing gratitude and kindness.

(and it might just help us grown ups too!)
