Last week they each drew an intricate mandala in lead pencil. These drawing will be photo copied and turned into a colouring book.

This week the students' ability to create radial symmetry was challenged when they created mandalas which used a shape other than a circle., Foundation, The Foundation students are creating an image of an animal that lives in the Arctic.

Supporting Children through Difficult Times

 There are global events currently playing out which may be having an impact on the feelings of safety and wellbeing for children and young people in our school communities. When we combine this with the stresses and complex needs of families as a result of the challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic, we know we need to pay particular attention to the mental health of ourselves and our young people.  

 

Constant media coverage through television, radio and the internet while necessary, exposes children and young people to disasters and traumatic events which may increase their anxiety and reduce their sense of safety and wellbeing. 

 

Please find some resources below that may help with having conversations with your children about issues that may be causing distress.
