As a school, we continue to develop pupil awareness of CLANG and the TAKE 5 steps to wellbeing to help identify opportunities to promote wellbeing,not only with the pupils, but also with staff, parents and the wider school community. We have a pupil 'Take 5' notice board in the hall, we acknowledge 'Take 5' CLANG at weekly whole school assembly, we complete various 'Take 5' lessons from P3-P7 and next week 13th-17th May we will hold a 'Take 5' Week with various activities across the week.
Mindfulness Monday will involve mindfulness activities in class. Traditional Games Tuesday will involve learning about traditional playground games. Walk and Talk Wednesday were the pupils will keep active. Take Notice Thursday the children will receive a TAKE 5 CLANG certificate for their efforts across the week. Feel Good Friday will involve extra outdoor play time and Friday PE with DD.
TAKE 5 also complements the EA’s new Health and Well Being Strategy launched in 2020. The key themes of promoting, education and supporting Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Social Health, Giving Back and Financial Wellbeing. Developing the 5 steps to well-being will support everyone in recognising stress and anxiety and strategies to overcome it.
