Mindfulness and Wellbeing

For many people, the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus is the hardest thing to handle. We don’t know how exactly we’ll be impacted or how bad things might get. And that makes it all too easy to catastrophize and spiral out into overwhelming dread and panic. But there are many things you can do—even in the face of this unique crisis—to manage your anxiety and fears.

Happy Monday All!

Hi all, 
Morning all. Hope this email finds you well or recovering if you have been sick. We are definitely in a strange new world and as people who spend their days in school with children, it is very peculiar to be 'working from home' or in school with only a couple of children. 
Following a great suggestion from Steph, I have created a Staff Blog page. This will hopefully be a way to connect us while we are not in school and is only connected via the email link sent to you. It is a forum to share ideas/reminders/positive quotes/suggestions or just say hello and chat. 
You should have received an email with login details and instructions on posting new messages - so please feel free to post and add suggestions/thoughts/ponderings - and let me know if you need any help. We will continue to update the blog to let you know what is happening at school but it is also an way to not feel so isolated given the current situation. 
For those who are not aware - there are also class blogs which the teachers are updating daily - and they are looking brilliant. Have a look and feel free to add comments.
