Hi everyone, 

Around the grounds, I am enjoying spending some final moments with our grade 6 students. What a diverse and talented bunch of people. I will miss them. I am farewelling a group of children who are emotionally insightful and have great mental health literacy. 

Counting down the minutes to…. long, hot, stay-at-home days this January? Not everyone is going on a holiday this year, some of us will be staying home and filling up a bucket of water and calling it “poolside”. Which is perfectly acceptable! So, time to amp up the craft supplies?

You might enjoy this recipe for distraction: https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Calming-Glitter-Jars/ I have a few in my office and ALL the kids love them.

Or perhaps a trip to the library, click and collect style: https://www.yourlibrary.com.au/

Seriously though, we all deserve a breather after a tricky time. We can’t all rush off to the beach but hopefully, we can have a moment to mindfully breathe in, and breathe out. And recharge.

Lucky last – this super-fast and gorgeous video about boredom – for you and the kids!
