Thank you @KirkcaldyHigh for the kind words and providing so many fantastic opportunities for me to be involved in! Thanks also to the @gtcs for asking me to share my experiences!
Congratulations to our own Miss Hay @KHSmaths Terrific piece on wellbeing, transitions, and her training and experiences in this month's @gtcs Teaching Scotland magazine. The KHS Mental Health Toolkit is here: https://t.co/RfcUBNhHwF @MentalKHS
'Place2Think provided me with the opportunity to take a step back, speak about my experiences & receive guidance from a mental health clinician on how to support my learners but also how to look after myself' @missehay describes Place2Thinkπ More info π https://t.co/uTw2WHbQvY
I have really enjoyed sharing ideas for wellbeing this week but it is time to pass over the baton for the @KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge to Christine Paterson (counsellor with DAPL at KHS) who will continue the challenge over the next week @gillianwood2018 πβοΈ @MentalKHS
Just in from scarifying the grass and listening to podcasts to make it bearable! I would highly recommend both of these - they were really inspiring and really made me think about being positive during this time! Definitely feel I managed all 5 ways of wellbeing today! @MentalKHS
@KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge 49
Today I challenge you to contact someone you haven't spoken to this week or this month! It is important to stay in touch at this time. There are so many ways you can stay in contact and socialise - last night I even played bingo over zoom!

Have you been clapping at 8pm on a Thursday? Head outside your door at 8pm today to thank all of our key workers. I have found it a very heart-warming way to connect with our neighbours and it always puts a smile on my face! @MentalKHS

@KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge 46
At the moment it is difficult not to spend all day on the screen as that is how we can learn, socialise and relax. Today I would like you to find some time to do something without a screen - maybe your daily exercise or baking or board games!
It has been really nice to read this newsletter from @gillianwood2018 about the #KHSSerenityGarden! What a fantastic group of young people and staff who have created this garden! Can't wait to see it when we return!
@KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge 45 (inspired by Star Wars)
Have you ever tried to edit a video or make a film? It is a great new skill to learn and gives really satisfying results! 'Stop Motion' app allows you to make videos really easily from images! Give it a go! @MentalKHS
@KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge 44
On Wednesday I tuned into a webinar about the importance of sun and natural light. Your challenge today is to step outside or sit by a window in some natural light! It has positive effects on your sleep, mood and overall health π @MentalKHS
In the 140yrs since it was invented, electric lighting has transformed our lives. But light at night & indoor living are taking their toll on our #health. Find out why & what to do about it in my @TEDxBristol talk: https://t.co/T2vojB9QCU #MondayMotivation#daylight#sleep
@KirkcaldyHigh Wellbeing Challenge Day 43!
During the lockdown I have started to practise yoga every morning. It has helped me to focus, connect, take notice and keep active! The beauty is you don't need any equipment, just a YouTube video! Why don't you give it a go? @MentalKHS
