Know Me to Teach Me online event #nurturingmidlothian

Wishing all of our returning pupils a great first day back to school

Children may be worried or anxious about returning to school following the Pandemic.This short story about Sammy the Sloth facing his fears of returning to school is a sweet story to read with your child and opens up opportunities for discussion. carmarthenshire.gov.wales/me… 

We recognise that this is an uncertain, challenging & stressful time. We’ve created a new helpline to support the wellbeing of Midlothian staff which will be operating on Wednesdays 1pm-2pm. A safe space to talk whatever concerns you have.

Welcome back to all of our learners and the parents and education staff that have adapted to remote learning ❤️

We are not all in the same boat but are all in the same storm. Take care of yourselves and each other on this rollercoaster journey

Streaming now on BBC IPlayer and BBC Bitesize. Also starting on Monday 11 Jan, each week day on CBBC will see a three-hour block of primary school programming from 9am. BBC Two will cater for secondary students to support the curriculum, with a least two hours of content each day

Wishing all of our learners, school staff and families a very merry Christmas and a restful festive break 🎄🎅🏻⛄️

Wishing all the children and young people returing to school this week good luck

Welcome back to all of our amazing teachers and support staff. This new term likely brings mixed emotions but thank you for everything you continue to do to support our children & young people ❤️

The second phase of easing lockdown restrictions starts today. Here’s a visual support from @SchoolsNlc that can be adapted as each change comes into play. *Please check government guidance for dates as this will be a staggered phase.

Just a little reminder that’s it’s ok not to always be ok as we try to find our feet in this new normal ❤️ The most helpful thing we can do right now is to normalise what we are feeling. The situation is so exceptional that it is normal to experience abnormal feelings.

Visuals are easier to process and understand for many. To help explain #Phase1 Glow Scotland have visualised the Scottish Government’s phased approach.

“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today”. - Thich Nhat Hanh #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

A nice visual from @ZJAyres with tips for self-care and being kind to yourself. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
