Back to School: Well–Being Journal As we prepare for the return to school in September, after the Covid pandemic, I feel that the well-being of children will be really important. I have created this journal to use with my class. I will be using this alongside my well- being activities which can also be purchased in my store. This Journal is made up of 25 pages. These include: • All About Me • Mindfulness Exercise Reflection Sheets • Thinking Outside the Box Drawing Activities. • Doodling Spaces • Amazing Me • My Goals • My Worries • Feelings • Friends • What Makes Me Happy? • What Am I grateful For? I am planning on using this during the first two weeks back and will be using the pages as a starting point to completed other mindfulness activities and talk about our feelings, worries and concerns linked to the return to school. I hope you find this useful and that the return to school for you and your pupils is a safe one.

**Substitute Teacher Information Pack. ** At the end of February, I found myself subbing for a couple of days before starting a longer maternity contract. When I arrived at the school, I was shown the classroom and told if I had any questions I would ask the principal/head. I said that was fine and within about 10 minutes I had several questions but no idea where to find the principal/head. So I decided to create this booklet on all the information that I think it would be helpful to have or give to a covering teacher. The document is saved as a PowerPoint so that you can edit it and add your own information. I have included some pages in different styles and formats so you can choose what is helpful for your own class. This pack contains the following pages: Cover Page A Note From The Teacher Information at a Glance Key People & Information Important Places Class Timetable Class Information Cover Sheet (Same Design as Front Cover) Class List Learning Support & SNA Information X3 Interventions & Exceptions Medical Needs & Allergies X2 Class Routines & Procedures Cover Sheet (Same Design as Front Cover) Routines & Procedures - 3 Pages With The Following Headings: Fire Drill & Emergency Drill Start & End of Day Routine Roll Call/ Morning & Afternoon Register Marking Toilet Routine Class Helpers & Special Helpers Homework Assemblies Break & Lunch Duties Behaviour Management in our Class Table Plans Groupings for Different Subjects.

**Mindfulness Activities ** A set of 24 Mindful Activities that can be done in class. These are doubled sided circles that can be used in class to promote mindfulness. On one side of the card is the activity name and on the other an explanation of how to do it. **How I have used these: ** We had a Mindfulness Week as part of out distance learning and these activities were sent home. I plan on having them on my desk in the new school year so that I can use them regularly with the children at different points during the day. Great when children come in first thing in the morning or after break or lunch. End of day activity. Calm Box. Brain Breaks. Transition between activities. If you enjoy using these, please do leave a review.
