Wellbeing Support for Children

Dear Parents & Children,

It’s been lovely seeing some of you this week, take good care over the summer break. Keep a back to school calendar and mark off each week to help prepare the children. Enjoy being with each other before school and busy lives resume. Be kind to each other, check in with each other and ask your loved ones how they are.

The Anna Freud Centre have produced a fantastic Self -care summer kit that you can work on with your children over the summer break: https://www.annafreud.org/media/12095/final-selfcaresummer-primary.pdf

Why not have a go at this mindfulness calender. These daily five minute activities will really benefit your child: https://mentallyhealthyschools.org.uk/media/2026/mindfulness-calendar-daily-5-minute-activities.pdf

See you in September!
