Pupil Wellbeing

Wellbeing is about looking after your physical and mental health. The things that we do and the way that we think affects our wellbeing and there are five ways that can help boost this.

Each of these actions makes a positive difference to how we feel, being aware of and combining these will make a difference:

1. Connect – with your friends and family. Spend time with your friends and family.
2. Be Active – find a physical activity that you enjoy. Go for a walk, ride your bike or play at the park with friends.
3. Take Notice – take the time to look at the day, the changing seasons, pay attention to how you are feeling, try some mindfulness exercises which you can find in the Wellbeing resources section.
4. Keep Learning – try something new - complete your home learning, learn a dance routine or learn how to bake with an adult at home.
5. Give – smile, do something nice for a friend or neighbour, make some time for others.
