Feel Good Week GETNS 2019

Amber Flag; As part of our work towards the Amber Flag, our school created awareness of positive Mental Well-Being by organising a "Feel Good Week". Each class choose activities from a menu of fun ideas and we all identified activities that make us feel good. Some of our whole school activities included;

Line Up Boot Camp; exercises at the end of yard time
Just Breathe; our twice daily moment to pause

Classes also did some of the following

Get Up and Dance; Feel Good songs were played over the intercom and the cool moves flowed freely!
Happy Feet; walking along a designated route around the school
Laugh @ Lunch; opportunity for joke telling
Time to Shine; opportunity to showcase our strengths and talents
Nature walks; getting out into nature to experience the elements

We ended the week with a Crazy Hair and Crazy Hat Competition. What a response we had to the competition. Fantastic creative entries. The winners are the following;
Éowyn, Maryum, Leah, Elise, Saarim, Franek, Lily, Anna, Poppy, Molly, Cian, Eoin, Finn, Leonora, Zack, Jodie, Alanna, and Ellen.

A big Thank You to the Dough Bros who have kindly sponsored our competition and will supply some delicious pizzas this week for a In-school Pizza party for all the winners. Very generous of Dough Bros.
