The best thing you will ever do, is BELIEVE in yourself!

Lockdown restrictions are finally being lifted. The rule of 6 meeting outside couldn’t have come sooner. We all need that social interaction with our family and friends. So go and ENJOY! The swimming baths, theme parks, zoos and non-essential shops are also due to open on 12th April too.
The clocks have also gone forward so we have those lighter nights to enjoy too. This month think about how far we have all come in such a difficult time, we should all be very proud of ourselves. This month reflect back on how you felt a year ago and how you feel now.

Here are some great places to visit with your children, local to Rotherham.

Don’t forget to check in wit Mrs Robinson’s Weekly Wellness for more support, tips and advice to support your mental health.

The Roar Score - This is used in school for children to identify how they are feeling. 1 = angry 10 = really happy. It can be used at home too to express feelings.

Book recommendations
Here are some books which you may find useful. Some of these we have in school already, or we can get additional copies, if anyone would like to borrow them. Don’t forget bedtime stories are great for calming down after a busy day and building positive relationships.
