Our new student teacher has been teaching us some sigh language, and the students are picking it up very quickly. Can you sign your name, or even tach someone else some new words in Sign Language. 

HAVE A GO DAY

Wow we we were so lucky with the weather on Tuesday, the rain held off until 3:00pm so that we could complete our 5 rotations for Have A Go Day. This helped to fill up our ways of well being: we were all out there learning, being active and making connections.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK

This week is Mental Health Awareness week. We were lucky enough on Monday to have UC students come in and work with us on an AMBLE: 

We moved around different activities that promoted the FIVE WAYS OF WELL BEING:

• GIVE: your time, your words, your presence
• BE ACTIVE: Do what you can, Enjoy what you do, Move your mood
• KEEP LEARNING: Embrace New Experiences, See Opportunities, Surprise Yourself
• CONNECT: Talk & Listen, Be There, Feel Connected
• TAKE NOTICE: Remember the simple things that give you joy.
