Huge thanks to Aoife O' Grady; teacher in Scoil an Chroi Naofa and past pupil of Creagh National School; for sharing these super virtual tours of the two secondary schools in Ballinasloe with us. 

Thanks to everyone for taking part in Well-Being Week. As we begin our long, sunny bank holiday weekend it's time to celebrate friendship. Try out an idea from the menus. Enjoy the break!!

The first of our two presentations today is from Miss Lohan who reads 'Have you filled a Bucket today?' by Carol McCloud for us. This story reminds us that we can 'fill our buckets' by making other people happy! How will you be a 'bucket filler' today?

In our Second Presentation, Miss Gallagher shows us a simple yoga movement that can help us to relax and re-centre ourselves when we are feeling anxious or upset. This would be a great thing to practice so that you will be able to use it when you need it!

​Each day of Well-Being at Home Week, there will be a video tutorial from some of the teachers in Creagh National School. There will also be menus (Junior and Senior) of mindful/ Well-being tasks for children to do. Please:
1: Watch the tutorial video.
2: Choose at least two of the activities to do per day.
If you wish your child's activities to be featured on the website you must give permission by messaging your child's teacher directly. ​

Guided meditations are a really terrific way to relax. Get yourself comfortable and allow Miss O' Rourke to lead you through a visualisation activity where you will imagine yourself in your favourite place. Thanks so much to Miss O' Rourke for creating and sharing this gentle calming meditation with us!

In the first activity tutorial of Well-Being at Home Week, Mrs. McCann challenges us to spread a little kindness and thoughtfulness in our neighbourhoods. She asks us to think particularly of those older and more vulnerable people in the community who are only able to take brief walks. Mrs McCann has three great ways that we can brighten up the days of these precious people. Watch the video, choose one of the ways and then share  your experiences on your class platforms.
