Wellbeing
Every Friday during Remote Learning we will have a whole school theme for our "Fun Fridays." This Friday 20 July, the theme will be Winter Woolies - hats, gloves, scarves and warm jackets. Next week, Friday 27 July is Christmas in July - anything Christmas!
COVID19 and Remote Learning Resources and Support
Challenging times continue with remote learning coming back again this term. There are many great resources available to support both parents and staff during this time.
Raisingchildren.net.au offer the following reminders for parents:
Parent Reminders
There are things you can do to help your family manage in this situation:
- talking through anxiety
- using routines
- getting organised with learning support
- balancing the needs of all children
- looking after yourself.
Aim for a Daily Routine
Learning at home will probably run more smoothly if you aim for a daily routine – but remember that it’s OK if you don’t follow the routine exactly. For example, you can think about:
- whether the usual school timetable will work or whether a simpler timetable might be better for learning at home
- how you can convert whatever routine you decide on into a visual timetable for the day
- how to break up the day, alternating chunks of learning with regular breaks
- how to introduce some fun into the day – for example, you could mark the end of each day with an activity that your child enjoys.
Many other resources including visuals, social stories, coronavirus storybooks, guided meditation and calming resources can be found at the Positive Partnerships website:
