Well-being activities

At Kneesall C of E Primary, we teach children to talk about their emotions from a young age. Being emotionally literate is important to enable children to be able to correctly identify their feelings first, then to know how to support themselves and others. In school, we regularly discuss strategies for calming our big emotions. How many can your child think of?

Yoga

It is important to keep your mind and body healthy to maintain a positive well-being. Here is a link to a YouTube channel called Cosmic Kids Yoga which we sometimes use with the children. It's an interactive way of keeping children active when the weather may not be so great, and a wonderful way to calm down after a busy day at school! Though this is a child friendly channel, as with all external links, please be mindful of adverts and other content which may not be so suitable.

Cosmic Kids Yoga* There are many physical and emotional benefits of Yoga such as enhanced self-esteem, improved concentration and increased energy and vitality.
