For the first half of this term the intention of the Character Strengths we focus on is to set students up for a great final term of both learning and flourishing. We look at Persistence, Curiosity, Creativity, Forgiveness and Gratitude. During the final weeks of the term the Character Strengths include Leadership, Open-Mindedness, Enthusiasm, Hope and Fairness. The aim of loooking at these is to set students up for a successful transition to 2025 and to equip them with a toolbox of strategies to build resilience and an optimistic outlook towards the future.  You can follow our strengths here: https://wellbeingforprimaryschoolstudents.edublogs.org/

Our explicit lessons will focus on areas such as Positive Realtions, Positive Self-Talk and Leadership. We will also continue to teach a range of wellbeing strategies to set students up for transition success. 

Here are some ideas to help your child thrive using principles from positive psychology, specifically the PERMA model, which stands for Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Here's how you can apply it at home:

• Positive Emotion: Encourage your child to focus on the good moments of the day. Sharing what they’re grateful for can boost their mood.
• Engagement: Help them discover activities that spark interest and keep them absorbed—whether it’s reading, art, or sports.
• Relationships: Foster strong connections by supporting friendships and family time. Positive relationships help children feel safe and valued.
• Meaning: Talk about their goals and how school fits into their bigger purpose. Finding meaning in learning keeps them motivated.
• Accomplishment: Celebrate small wins! Recognising achievements, both big and small, builds confidence and a sense of progress.

Below are the details of three workshops that we have organised for parents of children who worry :)
