Wellbeing Week Feb 22 - 26 2021
This week we ran a Wellbeing week. Nowadays our wellbeing and that of our children needs our attention more than ever as the times we are living are so different and we feel disconnected from others. This week we aim to provide pupils with some tools and thoughts to assist them in nurturing their wellbeing, in assisting them to switch from media and stressful aspects of their lives and just focus on the moment and the many positives that they have. We hope it will be a fun activity for the whole family to engage in & try something new together. It is not supposed to be tedious but fun and carefree, so enjoy the week and share your pictures if you like on #OolaNSwellbeingweek.
