mindfulness and well being during lockdown
Learning is going to be different for a while. School is open - some of our learners are in school and some are learning from home. The well being of children at Wildmoor Heath is always paramount. We are putting together a timetable of fun activities which will boost children's mental health during this period of national lockdown.
A weekly suggested timetable will be on EDMODO for our learners, however we are also including the activities here for our wider community to benefit from.
We hope you enjoy the activities - you can email us a photo of you and your family trying something new to your class teacher or to social.media@wildmoorheath.org.uk
