Another fantastic day here in Clonea Power NS as part of our Wellbeing Week!

It is Wellbeing Week here in Clonea Power NS. Please find below a list activities taking place this week and also wellbeing homework that the children are being asked to complete this week. A huge thanks to Ms. O'Shea and the Amber Flag Committee for all their hard work in preparing this week for us.
Our Amber Flag theme for this month was Gratitude. We were reflecting on things that we appreciate. We use our gratitude journals and gratitude jars to write down things that we are grateful for on a daily basis. We show our appreciation for nature through planting and growing. Music is good for the soul and very important for our well-being. We were very grateful for the opportunity to listen to local musicians playing traditional Irish music lately.
Our fantastic school self-portrait display at Ms. O'Shea's room.
Our school well-being motto, as voted for by the children, is Don't Worry Be Happy!
These strategies can be used in school and at home.
