Wellbeing 

On again, off again, on again and off again. Strange times but unfortunately becoming normal are the remote learning situations we live with. 

I have provided some problem solving riddles and challenges for you and the family to attempt. In our Respectful Relationships unit we have been working on how to solve problems that arise in everyday life. Trying to upskill ourselves when we or our friends face a challenging situation. 

 

Good luck on the following:
