Good morning everyone,
You are all doing so well with our new normal and engaging so well in all of the activities and learning online.
In these times we also need to remember that it is equally important to look after our wellbeing. Last week I posted helpful hints on mindfulness with ideas and strategies to help us have that all important downtime.
Thursdays are now such important days where we all stop at 8 o clock and thank our NHS. This is a time for reflection. These times are important for ourselves and our own wellbeing daily also. Today I have included a link for a great resource to use with your children at this time.
There are 5 themes to explore on this site. They are Calm, Focus, Kindness, Sleep and Wake up. Your child will be introduced to simple fun breathing exercises, how to practise a relaxed precise kind of focus, will be taught about openness and generosity, how to get a good night’s sleep with relaxed mindfulness activities. These simple meditations will help your child start the day of right.

As today is Thursday I have also included a Mindfulness NHS Heart picture to colour as a family and to say thank you. This is a little challenge from Mrs Docherty and one I’d love to see you share. I’m going to do one and display it in my house to remind me about what the most important things in life are and to remind me to stop and have quiet time.
Please take times in your day to stop and think about you. Take time to stop and switch off and take time to relax your body and mind.
Have a lovely day everyone. I’m thinking of you all,
Mrs Docherty
We went out again with James last night to thank our NHS workers and all the key workers who are driving our country through this difficult journey. We are so thankful for their efforts.
We are also thankful to our St Ninians family for giving us guidance and kinship through this period of home learning 💚💛
Stay safe,
Team Taylor
Good morning team Taylor. Great to hear from you again. I do feel a Thursday evening makes us all stop and think. It is an amazing thing to do to say thank you and what seems so small an act has spread across the world. Big things come from small acts.
Thank you for your support also as everything we do is because of our families. You are always in our thoughts.
Have a lovely Easter holiday, stay safe and keep smiling,
Mrs Docherty
