Today’s focus for Mental Health Week was to ‘Be a Friend’ to others in school and within our wider community. We continued with our daily ‘Walk and Talk’, and our P7 pupils visited Collegeland Nursing Home to spend time with the residents.
Alison at Collegeland shared memory boxes and artefacts, giving residents the opportunity to explain how these items were used in years gone by. In return, our pupils presented a thoughtful gift — a Mindful Colouring Book. What made this gift particularly special was that it wasn’t store-bought; instead, it was carefully created by the pupils themselves. Using online “How to Draw” videos, they sketched and designed outline pictures specifically for the residents to enjoy.
We look forward to visiting again before the end of June, when hopefully we’ll get to see some of the completed colouring pages.
