Health & Wellbeing

Healthy Eating Active Lifestyle Towards A Happier You = HEALTHY!

At Parent Contact in March 2018 we issued you with a letter about “Circle Assemblies”.  We started this approach last session and it involves every child from P1-P7 having a voice at assembly time with the focus being their health and wellbeing and gaining a greater understanding of what is known as SHANARRI- the eight wellbeing indicators (just ask your child as they should be able to tell you what these are!).

Every child is part of a group, comprising children across P1-P7 all in the same House Team. Each group is led by at least two P7 pupils and they follow a structured programme of topics across eight assemblies (these are not consecutive weeks due to Sharing Learning Assemblies and assemblies with other visitors scheduled).

Over the course of the eight Circle Assemblies, the P7s will lead their respective groups in discussions linked to:

1. Healthy Eating
2. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
3. Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport

These in turn will be linked to the eight indicators on the wellbeing wheel- SHANARRI

Where do you come in?

At the end of each Circle Assembly activities that can be carried out at home will be posted here on the school website and you will be signposted to them via twitter/text.
