Hello and welcome to our first wellbeing blog! The Wales Wellbeing team have been engaged in lots of virtual chats via Microsoft Teams to try and find some ways we can all stay connected over the coming weeks. The first week of no school might have felt strange as you adapt to learning at home, spending more times indoors and with your family. It might be that some of them are even starting to get on your nerves! So, each week the team will aim to share some feel good stories, blogs from staff and students, as well as where you can access support should you feel you need to. Although we are all ‘social distancing’ at the moment, technology means that no-one needs to be on their own and we have everything we need to stay connected.
Organisations are starting to pull together some resources to help families support their children to manage the impact of COVID-19. As well as sharing positive stories, this blog will also signpost you to support. Click the link below for some advice from Sheffield Children's hospital - thank you to Dr. Everson for this!

Beacon House have also produced some resources which may help, which are available in the link below:

If you come across anything that you think others might find useful, please send them our way!
Lots of you may have been completing the Joe Wicks workout at 9am every day (link in one of our other posts). In fact - next week we are looking forward to sharing some videos/pictures - Mr Asquith will also be making a star appearance! Stephen Smith a local yoga/mindfulness teacher has also been putting together some free yoga videos which you might find useful for a change of pace. These are available here:

To make this blog successful – we need your help! Send your stories about isolation, positive news, interesting stories, work you have been doing or anything that you think will make us smile! Thank you to those teachers and students who have contributed at late notice this week - it's really appreciated. You can send any stories (maybe you have written your own that we could share!), ideas etc direct to cco@waleshigh.com and we’ll try to ensure we post as much as we can each week. It would be great to have some stories from students, so why not write a little blog of your own about how you are finding things.
