Wellness Week took place this year from the 6th to the 12th of February. The Amber Flag Committee prepared lots of fun and relaxing activates for the children to take part in throughout the Week.
Thankful Tuesday took place on 6th February and the boys and girls drew pictures on post its and wrote down what they are thankful for in live. These were placed on the ‘Thankful Tuesday’ board which is on display in the hall. The children also experienced musical yard and danced along to the ‘Kidz Bop’ playlist from Spotify! All classes completed their daily mile around the Astro Turf.
On Well-being Wednesday, the children brought their favourite books to school and took part in DEAR time (Drop Everything And Read). They finished the day by walking/running a mile.
Guided Meditation took place on Thankful Thursday and everyone brought blankets and pillows from home and listened to relaxing music in their classrooms while getting comfortable on the floor.
On Friendly Friday, the boys and girls dressed in colourful clothes and a fundraiser was held of Pieta House. 415 euro was the total amount collected. Many thanks to everyone who donated to such a worthy cause.
To finish Wellness Week, all classes took part in a yoga workshop with Ashling on Mindful Monday which took place on 12th February. The children acted out different animal poses and they all felt very relaxed after completing the workshop.
Wellness Week 2024 was a great success and it is a step closer to earning our second Amber Flag! Well done to the Amber Flag Committee!
