A nice activity to help with worries 

This activity is supplied by ELSA Support. 

Welcome back all, we hope your all well and eager to start the new term. A few inspirational words to get us started…. 😁

This week we have a lovely game that you can play to boost children’s self esteem. All you need is a dice, 2 pegs and either a print out out of the game or a drawing of it. All you need to do is throw the die, and move the peg up the board and whatever word you land on, you must share a time you’ve shown this characteristic. The first person to the top is the winner. You must throw the exact number to finish on the top square. 


This game helps children recognise their strengths and characteristics, boosting their self esteem.

This game is provided by ELSA support.

Being outdoors can have a great impact on our mental health, enjoying the sunshine and the nature around us. Here’s some free activities for you to try this week: 

Welcome back, we hope you enjoyed your half term. 
What splendid weather we are experiencing, with this in mind we have a lovely activity that you can try outdoors. 
 

Simply colour bubbles or washing up liquid with food colouring and blow onto a piece of paper and away you ​​​​​​go ! As the bubbles land and pop on the paper they start to make beautiful pieces of art. 
You may need to wear old clothes or an apron as the food colouring may stain your clothes. 
ENJOY 😁

Here’s some lovely activities to try through June, from ELSA Support: 

Have a great half term everyone...🥰

This is a lovely activity to help children explore some coping strategies for sadness, anger, anxiety and fear.

It is a fortune teller game with some suggestions for coping.  There is one in colour, another one in black and white so the children can colour it in themselves and a blank one so the children can write their own coping strategies.

Just a little something to boost your wellbeing. This activity doesn’t have to be printed off, you can look at it on the screen everyday. You can get your family and friends to join in also.

Keep on going your doing great...😍

Hope your enjoying your holidays everyone.....

This inside feelings template will help children identify their outside and inside feelings. They may look angry but inside they are sad. They may look sad but inside they are worried. 
You can download them from the ELSA support website or draw your own.

Good morning all, another week to learn something new!  Hope your all well and raring to go......

We have a little activity for you to share your feelings and emotions on your return to school, it’s a feelings jar. It’s important to share how you are feeling, good or bad as it helps us feel close to people who care and not alone. It helps us use self control when we feel mad or upset. It helps us feel better when we are mad or sad.

You can download this to print from the ELSA resource website.

Good morning all, hope your all well, we are sharing a little story about the vaccine, in preparation for your return next week. 

It’s World Book day and we want to help share the message about the positive impacts of reading. Reading can improve children’s understanding of emotions and emotional vocabulary. We have shared some book’s recommended by the National Book - for World Book Day. If you visit the National Book website, there are suggestions on books, invites to share books in their book club and share a story in their story corner.

We have also shared a book scavenger hunt, to help raise interest in books and reading. Good luck and enjoy😃📕📘📚

This week we are looking at being together again back in school. This calendar includes activities involving links to friendship, social skills and community. 

Good morning all, the beginning of another week ! 
This week we are putting up a little story about going back to school, to help the children with a positive outlook about returning.😃

Good morning all, hope you're all well?
We have put up some self care posters this week and some sleep and meditation ideas for your children and yourselves. We hope these might come in handy to help you get back into a routine ready for the new term. 

 We would like to introduce you to our wellbeing characters, there will be a different one each day.

Today we look at being mighty. The focus is on bravery and confidence. Pupils can focus on their strength of character and find ways of increasing their confidence and bravery.  The slideshow shows you the character, then moves on to the vocabulary, then the activities ( which only need pen and paper) and finishes with affirmations.

Today’s focus is on being thoughtful and kind. How we can help others and think about other people’s feelings.

Today we are looking at goals and wishes. How you can set a goal and reach it and how it will make you feel.

Today we are looking at gratitude and those little things that we appreciate. This will help with a positive outlook on life.

Today’s focus is on friendship, and the importance of connecting with friends for your own wellbeing. It also looks at qualities of friendship.

Hi all, hope your all well, this week is Children's Mental Health Week and the theme is Express Yourself.
