Happy Friday everyone; today is all about you!
Take a look at my thought for the week and 'This is me' activity. I have included some examples to give you an idea of what kind of things to include in your frame and a song to listen to whilst you get creative - I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone, happy Friday!
This week, I would like you to think about taking care of yourself and what that means. Here is a lovely meditation for you to try in school or at home, my thought for the week and a self care plan that you can use or create your own.

Happy Friday everyone!
As yesterday was Earth Day, I would like us all to think about ways we can help to look after our Earth. You may be wondering what you as children can do and the answer is, so much!
Just by learning about our wonderful planet, encouraging others to help and leading by example, you can all make a difference.
Further to yesterday's CAFOSD assembly, I have also attached 'Eyes of the World' template to complete if you wish.

As it is almost the Easter holidays, I would like you to 'Spring into Spring'. Listen to this uplifting song whilst decorating and filling your basket. There are lots of ideas for spring/Easter activities for you to try at home too.

Hi everyone, I hope you have had a lovely week and enjoyed our Wellbeing Wednesday.
Listen to the story 'While We Can't Hug' and have a go at making your own Pocket Hug to give to someone you are missing. It could be a family member or a friend you haven't seen in a while, or someone you just miss giving a hug to.
You can also listen to the song whilst making your pocket hug - read the lyrics and sing along!
Don't forget to send me some pictures to RO'Neill@saintmaries.org.uk.
