Last week each family received the Wellbeing Posters we use at school. You were also tasked with replying to your childs Flipgrid video. Thanks to those families who did this. It's not too late if you haven't, you have until this Friday. Did I mention that your child gets a Berri fruit juice ice block if you do a reply video? (Kindy are learning all about our wellbeing processes but they didn't do the videos on Flipgrid - they still get an ice block though!).
Not only do we have our great wellbeing resources, we also have specialist staff who are running wellbeing groups:
- Fran - runs a friendship group each Tuesday afternoon.
- Kelly - runs girls group with the support of Nikki Perin each fortnight.
- Jasper - creates modules for our teachers to explicitly teach lessons. He has also started running sand play sessions with individual and groups of children.
These sessions help us to understand friendship group dynamics better and how to support the social and emotional wellbeing of children at The Pocket.
All of these groups are chosen by the classroom teacher or myself to ensure we are supporting the social and emotional growth of our children.
If you want to know more about any of these groups or don't want your child involved, let us know.
We are also training a few staff in a new wellbeing program that targets social wellbeing. We can't wait to start this next term!
