Caring for yourself

It is really important that we spend time supporting our children to understand and be aware of our own bodies and how they can stay safe, happy and healthy.

Hand Washing and COVID 19

Here are some stories that you might like to share with your child to help them understand COVID 19. Remember that it is especially important that we take the time to wash our hands properly at the moment.

Key life skills

It is important for your child to be as independent as possible. Being independent is important as it allows them to make choices for themselves and gain maturity. Here are some of the key life skills that we would like your child to complete independently:

• fastening their coat zip

• beginning to tie their shoelaces

• taking off and putting on their school jumper

• making sure the arms are the correct way round on coats and jumpers

• knowing how to contact the emergency services (when needed)

• brush teeth, comb hair and wash their face without help

• use cutlery correctly

• knowing their address

These tasks can be practised at home daily.

Mindfulness Matters

Developing a positive and growth mindset to tackle day to day challenges with resilience and determination.

Making time for mindfullness activities allows us to slow down, relax and really notice what we are doing.
