  Following on from our wonderful Mental Health and Wellness day, we have added the new positive calendar for October. 

  

• World Mental Health Day

  Wed 07 Oct 2020

  The mental health and well-being of our children is incredibly important to the Bangor Central school community. During the last month, classes have been taking part in well-being activities such as practising mindfulness, taking brain breaks, learning strategies to recognise their emotions and exploring ways to manage anxiety.

   

  Today, in school, we celebrated Mental Health Awareness Day by wearing something yellow. #HelloYellow activities were completed by pupils in their classes, stories were read and pupils kindly donated £1 for the charity ‘YoungMinds’

   

  As a school we will continue to support our pupils and staff to ensure that everyone stays happy and healthy this year.

• Self-care September

  Thu 03 Sep 2020
  As life tries to get back to some normality we must remember to look after ourselves and each other. This self- care daily guide may help to prompt those little moments. We are looking after our children in school and teaching them how to care for themselves and each other. There are more activities and resources in the Well being section of the website. 

  

• A warm welcome back!

  Tue 01 Sep 2020

  It’s 1st September and nearly all our children are back to school in their class bubbles. It is strange and unprecedented times but we are doing our best to ensure that your children are all safe and secure in school.

   

  Our transitions have worked really well with parents using the entrance and exit located at Mobile 6, giving the children independence to walk into their classes with smiling faces. We have all made changes in our classrooms and are continually working together to make sure procedures are followed accordingly. 

   

  So great have our changes been that some of our staff were pictured on the BBC news wearing their colourfully decorated child friendly visors and a few of our  Year 7 pupils were interviewed by Good Morning Ulster radio station about returning to school and the challenges they face during this final year in primary school.
