Hippity hop, hippity hop here comes... "The Easter Hat Parade'! This year our Easter extravaganza will be held on Thursday 6th April 2023. No need to rush out and buy things to make your child’s Easter hat. This year the students are getting together with their buddy class to make their Easter hats, with resources provided by the school. More information will be coming out soon, so please save the date and don’t miss out on this great occasion.
It is important to remember how to treat people with courtesy and respect.
We can use our Grow Your Mind animals to help us achieve this.
This fortnight is the OCTOPUS who helps us understand about feelings and emotions. To do this we need to learn about our own feelings and how to be sensitive towards our friends and family.
What causes stress?
Stress is a response to an unexpected change, challenge in a single event or can be over a period. We worry, unable to relax and concentrate due to the difficult situation. There may be tears, trouble sleeping, overreacting, loss of appetite and headaches or body pains.
Is stress the same as anxiety?
No, a person who is in anxious condition is unable to do things as it interferes with social and daily functions at work or school.
How can children cope with everyday stress?
Everyone responds differently to stressful situations. Understanding stress and its triggers can stop us from getting overwhelmed. Keep a daily school schedule, after school activities and consistent home routine. Good sleep hygiene. Stay in touch with family and friends. Eat a balanced diet. Regular exercise. Reach out for support from friends, family, GP and health service.
