WELL BEING WEEK !!!!

This week the school celebrated 'Wellbeing Week' and so over the week, the children were encouraged to participate in activities where the focus was on overall Wellbeing. It was a really sunny week, so the weather also helped us all feel good in ourselves and happy to be able to get outside and enjoy the nice weather.   

Mindful Monday - Enjoy making music today 

On Monday, our focus was on the children's overall mindfulness and what better way to support a positive and happy outlook, but to incorporate music.  Bearing this in mind, we decided to start the week by challenging the children to make their very own music instruments.  The children of course in the Rainbow Rooms rose to the challenge and then a great job.  It was a nice way for the children to express their creative side as they individualised their own toy instrument. 

Thoughtful Tuesday - Be kind and thoughtful towards your pet today! 

On Tuesday, the focus was on being thoughtful and kind.  All the Rainbow Room staff know that when we are feeling lonely that there is no better way of feeling better than spending time with our pets or cuddly toys.  Our pets or cuddly toys are are always there to hug and that makes us all feel better.  So, on Tuesday, the Rainbow Room Staff decided they would share pictures of them being  kind and thoughtful to their pets.  The children in the Rainbow Rooms of course were kind to their pets and cuddly toys and share their lovely pictures.  
                                             

I wonder if you recognise this dog from the picture.  That's right... we were all lucky to meet this dog last year, when the assistance dogs came to visit our school.  

Workout Wednesday 

Wednesday was another fabulous day, the sun was shining and it was a great excuse to get outside and be active.  All the staff in the Rainbow Rooms decided to share pictures of the things they like to do....can you guess who is doing which activity....

Cycling?

Colouring?

Walking?

Karate?

Running? 

Sewing?

Writing a letter? 

Going for a walk with their family?

Gardening?

The children also got active and had lots of fun!!!

  

Thankful Thursday 

On Thursday, we marked 'Thankful Thursday' by making delicious smoothies or fruit salads to share with our families, as a way to show that we are thankful for all the happiness and joy that they bring to our lives. The weather was wonderful outside and there was no better way to spend the day, than drinking smoothies in the back garden with our family.    

  

Feel good Friday 

On Friday, the day was all about feeling good.  The Rainbow Room staff put together a little video of themselves all having good fun playing a game of catch together ...even if it was virtual....😊😊. The children were encouraged to relax now after a busy week and spend some quality time playing a game of catch with their families.  

  

These children keep on going!!!! Well done to everyone who kept on going with the activities over last weekend...amazing.  

And if that was not enough, they even had time to make some delicious toffee apples and became Teacher for the day at home, writing super questions and setting up a timetable.  Wow, there is no stopping these children.  They are all Super Stars!!

 Birthday Wishes 

This week there was a special occassion for one of the boys in the Rainbow Rooms.  Teacher Colin and everyone wanted to mark the special day for Fionn and wish him a very happy birthday.  Although we couldn't be together at this time, we still were thinking of Fionn and sending him lots of happy wishes for a wonderful birthday.  

Wacky Weighing Challenge 

We all learned how to weigh lots of items in our houses using a very wacky weighing scales.  Once we made our very own wacky weighing scales, we got busy seeing what objects were the heaviest and lightest in our houses.  Remember if the object goes down it means it the heaviest and if the object goes up, it means it is the lightest. 

     

Baking Brownies 

On Tuesday, we were busy in the kitchen, baking our beautiful brownies.  To make the brownies, we had to do a lot of sieving, mixing and whisking, but all this hard work was worth it, as they in the end we had to do a lot of tasting.  They were very yummy.  
  

Both Ann and Emma said hello to the children, they are both missing you all so much.  

  

Messy Play 

Wednesday, was very messy indeed.  The sun was shining and it was lovely and warm outside, so it was the perfect opportunity to get outside and have lots of fun doing messy play.  It is clear to see that these children had a great time.  

  

     

Ger and Fatima said hello to the children today. They are both super proud of all the work the children have been doing. 

  

Art Thursday 

On Thursday, the children got busy with their Art Packs 6 and they created their wonderful chickens. The children are all great Artists, in the Rainbow Rooms, that they always love to show off their own creations.  Amazing!! We are very impressed!!! 

        

Geraldine and Noeleen said hello to the children today.  They are both very happy to see all the children's happy faces.  

  

Word Fun 

On Friday, it was time to bring the learning to a new level. We were learning action words and to make it really fun, we had to do the action that we were reading.  Phew!!! We were all tired and ready for the weekend after today's challenge.  

The children keep on working......
