'Wellbeing Hour' takes place every Friday afternoon where each class enjoy fun activities and games with their Teacher which have been planned in accordance with the Thrive Approach. We have also provided each year group with boxes full of indoor and outdoor activities and games to use throughout these sessions.
At the end of every term the Wellbeing team are responsible for making four hampers (Fph, KS2 and staff friendly). Every pupil and member of staff have the chance to win! We are very keen to support our Teachers and their Wellbeing and have put things like ‘Staff Shout Out boards in the staff room’. We also deliver chocolates or small appreciation gifts and have also written letters to say ‘Thank You’ and let them know all the things we are grateful for!
We felt that during play time, there was nowhere for pupils to have ‘quiet time’ if playing and running around does not interest them. We developed a Wellbeing Area on the yard. In this area we have sensory equipment made from recycled materials where pupils can relax and we also have a worry well where pupils can throw their worries away.
