HWB

In the story Ruby’s Worry, When Ruby makes a friend – who has a worry too – and talks about what’s bothering her, everything explodes with colour and the world goes back to normal.

Are you feeling worried today? What can you do?

Ways to stop feeling worried:

1. The best thing to do is to stop, take a deep breath and focus on all the things you are good at.
2. Thinking positive thoughts will help you feel better in yourself.
3. Doing a different activity
4. Getting some exercise
5. Eating some healthy food
6. Sometimes the best solution is to relax – find a comfortable chair to sit in or have a lie down, slow down your breathing and chill out.

Find someone you trust and talk to them – it might be a parent, a friend, or a teacher. Sharing a problem makes it seem less huge.

Have a nice day.

This is also the time we started to learn some Spanish. Leave you here some Spanish translations.

Good morning – “Buenos Dias”

Hello – “Hola”

How are you? – “como estas?”

We then talk about how we are feeling today (happy, sad, tired, and excited). We find how does the weather look like and what day it is – You can do your calendar book.

Art – For today’s art activity, I leave you some ideas that you can do with your children, according to the taste and resources they have at home. Special interest for the fact that it is without mess. We love art and everything that allows us to explore but it is always better when we save carpets, right? 😉

Science – Do you know which objects sink or float? Here you have a fun and easy experiment that you can make at home. Bring objects from your garden or when you go out for a walk.

Here’s the idea J  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIYr10Nntbw

 HWB – Let’s see if you can still remember this:

– can you name and find some parts of your body. You can do it pointing to your body or you can have fun and sing and dance with “head, shoulders, knees and toes” so familiar for you and I know you love it.

If you would like to explore a little bit further why not try it in Spanish. Have fun J
