This is a great activity to do as we are actually living through history at the moment. It will be something that you can keep and look back at when the current situation is over.
It would be brilliant to see some of these completed. You can email pictures to wellbeing@westrise-jun.e-sussex.sch.uk.

It would be great if you would leave Mrs Lumby and myself a comment below.
Some of the children will already know that Matt Lucas is one of my favourite TV personalities. He has always made me smile and laugh! So you can imagine how excited I was to see that he has released an animated song called Thank You Baked Potato. Not only is this song and video good fun, but is also passing on an extremely important message.
Most importantly though, is that it is being used to raise money for the NHS Frontline workers to have hot meals while they are working and looking after everyone.
Here it is for you to have a look at. I bet you will be singing it for the rest of the day!
Good morning everyone,
As well as valuing our children’s education we also value their wellbeing, as we recognise that children learn better and are happier if their emotional needs are met. At some time in our lives we all experience worries and here at West Rise Juniors we recognise the need to support our children and families through these unpresented times.
This blog is to support you, our children and families, with any needs, questions or resources that you may find helpful during this difficult time. In saying this, most importantly, this blog is to stay connected with you all, share wellbeing resources and spread some positivity to all.
If you would like to contact us please use the comments box, (children please remember to only use your initials and class, not your full name). Parents/carers or children can email us at wellbeing@westrise-jun.e-sussex.sch.uk and we will get back to you asap.
We will add links to the relevant pages above as time goes on so keep checking these out for useful information.
We can’t wait to hear from you!
Take care, stay safe and have a restful weekend
Warm wishes to you all
Nikki Beard & Val Lumby
