January 2021 - 5 Steps to Wellbeing
During this term (and the period of lockdown), we are going to be using the NHS 5 steps to wellbeing to think about how we can look after our own wellbeing and that of our friends and family.
Each week we will look at a different aspect of the 5 Steps and will suggest ideas of things you could do.
It would be lovely if you can share what you have done, either via our social media pages or with your class teacher via Teams.
Wellbeing Guidance
Working and learning at home can be a challenge for children and parents. It is therefore really important that we all look after ourselves and consider our wellbeing.
This page will be updated on a regular basis, so please keep an eye on it.
