Wellbeing Tip!

We often think of learning happening within the walls of a classroom. Our students spend their days at school, learning new skills inside and outside of the classroom. 

BUT, as an IB school we greatly value life-long learning. A great way to learn new skills is to learn them as a family. Find some opportunities to learn something new as a family below:

  • Learn to bake or cook something new! This can be a wonderful opportunity to spend some quality time together with a delicious outcome!
  • Learn how to take care of a new plant, vegetable, or herb. 
  • Learn to play a new board or group game together. This is a wonderful way to spend time together as a family.

Journaling is a wonderful way for us to reflect upon our day - we can think over what went well, what didn't, and how we could change things in the future. Journaling can also help us see progress towards our goals or if we need to alter our behaviours. Especially for children (but us adults, too!), journaling can improve communication skills. Journaling can prompt students to reflect on their emotions and give them new ways to say how they feel.  But like anything, journaling isn't one size fits all. There are many different types of journaling. From making quick lists, to creating beautiful illustrations, there's something for everyone.  Here are some guides on journaling: How to start a bu...
