Feel Good Friday - Inside Out Day - Fundraiser for Pieta House

28/2/2022

On Feel Good Friday, the Amber Flag committee organised an “Inside Out Day” to show that sometimes how someone looks on the outside does not reflect how they feel on the inside so we should always be kind to others. The students got to wear their own colourful clothes to school inside out to promote how important it is to not keep your feelings inside and to share these with someone you trust . Our goal for the Amber Flag was to hold a fundraiser event for Pieta House and we are delighted to have raised €320. Well done to all our pupils for taking part and thanks to everyone for your generous donations. We relaxed in the afternoon with a movie  where we watched the popular “Inside Out” based on Wellbeing. Hot chocolate and cookies were enjoyed by all the pupils. Storm Eunice abated in time for the pupils to enjoy a fun Dance Party on the yard to finish off a fabulous week. ​

Poster Competition
On Terrific Thursday, we all designed a poster of “What Makes Me Happy” or “My Happiest Moment,” It is good for our mental health to remember and share happy events with our friends. It certainly put a smile on all our faces. Check out our posters below.

 Yoga 
Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve our focus
and performance and reduce stress and anxiety.
​On Wellbeing Wednesday yoga teacher Sharon took each class
​for a yoga session. We enjoyed learning some new poses and taking time for ourselves during the busy school day. Thank you Sharon for doing the yoga workshop with us.

Thankful Tuesday

Gratitude
On Thankful Tuesday we learned about gratitude. It has been discovered that if we learn to be grateful for what we have, we will grow up to be happier people. We have so much to be grateful for- the air we breathe, our families and friends, warm, cosy homes, a sunny day, the list is endless. When we show appreciation, it helps us feel more connected to others and we experience more positive feelings. We decorated Gratitude Jars and filled them with all the things we are grateful for in our lives. ​

Mindful Monday

Valentines Day 
Our Wellbeing Week kicked off with Mindful Monday which fell on Valentine’s Day. Every pupil designed a Valentine card for someone in their class and in return received a card with compliments from their classmates. It made us feel really good when we read the positive things others said about us. 
​​
Morning Meditation
We practised meditation throughout the week. Meditation helps to improve our concentration, and to manage our emotions. It helps us to be more creative and to feel less stressed during the day and helps us sleep better at night. We really enjoyed taking time out from our work to be still and relax.

Aistear -Ā  Africa

24/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Junior and Senior Infants had a great time exploring the theme of Africa. They learned about the animals that live on the savannah. An African market was set up in the role play corner where crafts, bags and jewellery were sold. Many African homes are very basic compared to the homes we live in. The children painted their own Ndebele huts. Many African tribes have their own special masks and jewellery and the children made and modelled their own masks and beaded necklaces. Don't they look great!

We hope your child enjoyed Wellbeing Week. In Greaghrahan N.S., wellbeing is the focus of
our School Self Evaluation. It is also the theme of this year’s Peace IV project with
Newtowngore N.S. The committees from both school worked collaboratively to plan the
activities for Wellbeing Week and we are grateful to them for organising such a successful
week. Thank you to all our families who donated to the fundraiser for Pieta House. €320 was
raised for the charity in our school. The activities completed last week contribute towards the
achievement of our Amber Flag.

On Safer Internet Day Junior and Senior Infants were introduced to Digiduck who has a very difficult decision to make when someone sends him a funny picture of one of his friends. Luckily for Digiduck, Wise Owl arrives in time with some good advice before he makes a big mistake.
