End-of-term-itis!

Yes, it’s a thing. A post I always share at this time of the year.

Over the last few years I’ve noticed how different children (and young people) are in the last week of a school year. Endoftermitis is a very common condition for children and staff (I should probably throw in parents too - especially those who have children leaving primary school - that’s me!).

Children are aware of impending change; a long break to look forward to (or not), the anticipation of a new school year, new class teacher or even a new school.

There is so much much going on too; end of year performances, celebrations and transition days. Throw this crazy heat into the mix and it’s a lot for our children to deal with, particularly our more sensitive ones.

The excitement, exhaustion (heat) and the uncertainty can cause some of our children to behave differently.

Some of our children are beyond tired (emotionally and physically). This may cause them to get angry, frustrated or upset much quicker than they normally would. They may be over emotional; fed up, crying at the slightest thing, find it hard to sleep, and they might need more of you.

They might want more hugs, more reassurance, more calm. Take time to plan some peaceful moments for your child (and yourself).

Go gently with them. ❤️

Healthy Eating Week 12th - 16th June 😀.

Do you tell the children what they are eating 🍽️?
One of the greatest ways to encourage healthy eating is to give the children autonomy and information ℹ️ about the food they are eating. This is going to help their body grow 💪🏻👧🏼👦🏻
We love Rainbow foods 🌈🍉🍌🍇🍅🥦🌽🥕🫐 and all the different ways it helps the body to heal, grow, give energy 😀.

The best thing to do in the hot weather is stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours. Also, keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun.
