Everyone knows the saying ” the middle of the week is not a trough, its a peak.” We will be working together to make sure that everyone gets their peak. How ? Wellbeing Wednesdays.
I am a fan of taking Christmas decorations down soon after Christmas. I look forward to less clutter and more open spaces, but one thing I am never in a hurry to do away with are the lights. Christmas lights and candles always make a room seem cozier.
In addition to lights, why not try to bring in some plants to help freshen the air. Small potted plants are a really easy way to brighten up a space. Try to grow your own. Just don’t forget to water them!

We will feel better and our children won’t be getting in trouble for simply being energetic. Try yoga in the link below

Chinese New Year 2021 falls on Friday, February 12th, and celebrations culminate with the Lantern Festival on February 26th, 2021
Every year we mark this event by welcoming a Chinese exchange student into St Joseph’s. Due to the ongoing pandemic, which means we cannot be together to celebrate Chinese New Year in school this year.
I’d like you to use these online resources
https://www.britishcouncil.org/sites/default/files/british_council_year_of_the_ox_education_pack.pdf
and create something to celebrate.
Think of past years when you’ve celebrated during PPA sessions with me. We’ve tasted Chinese food together and made Chinese crafts.
Share you creations with us and we can still celebrate Chinese New Year together.
I look forward to seeing what you do. Mrs Adams
