 Active travel film
The Healthy Lives Team have put together a short film to encourage families to walk, cycle or scoot to school. There's never been a better time to get active on the school run by choosing to walk and cycle to school.
We would really encourage you to show this film in your school assemblies and share with your families.
 Wellbeing resources for primary schools
Prior to the national lockdown, The Fantastic Fred experience from the NHS Good Mental Health Matters, provided interactive performances in schools which taught children how to look after their own mental health.
Schools can now register to access the free teaching resources and downloadable classroom activities for Key Stages 1 and 2, which use the helpful acronym F.R.E.D:
Food - eating the right foods
Rest- getting enough sleep
Exercise - being active
Digital Devices - managing time online
 Classroom Changemakers
Classroom Changemakers is an award programme that seeks to unearth, celebrate and share great ideas from teachers and teaching assistants which aim to give young people the opportunity to be creative and solve problems in maths and computer science.
 Resources for wellbeing learning at home
These units of work are designed for children from Key Stages 1 and 2 to support their learning if they are self-isolating at home.
The activities aim to reassure young people and their families. They are designed to encourage self-care and support wellbeing, but importantly to be fun and engaging.
