Everybody has worries. Mams, dads, teachers , children, even our pets! Worries are normal and part of life. But it is how we deal with our worries that is very important. Read this story on the 'Huge Bag of Worries' and complete the exercises below.
Draw a big bag and inside it write or draw(or both) a collage of all the things big or small that you worry about. Sometimes just acknowledging our worries can be enough to calm them.
Put a circle around the most worrying worry in the bag. Look at it , give it the fiercest look you can give it and tell it with meaning " you WILL NOT survive here" .Talk to it like it's a real thing on your page. Give it a real piece of you mind.
Write or draw a worry (big or small) you have on the bottom of a page, put a circle around it. Above that worry I want you to draw as many colourful pictures as you can, write as many memories, gratitude s, things that you love all over the page. Bombard that worry with all the greatness, beauty and colour you have in your life.

Why not try a new instrument this week? Here is the link to a virtual piano. It will help you play Mary Had a Little Lamb! All you need to do is press the yellow keys. After that you can play any notes or tunes on the piano that you wish. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SIGN UP TO PLAY THIS PIANO! If you click on note names it will show you the notes. Maybe you could use your tin whistle notes to try a few tunes? There is also a link to another virtual piano that might be even more fun to use!
