St Andrew’s Primary Thrive Nest 🌈

We have been having great fun in Thrive this term. Creating feelings faces using apple prints, using Lego models to show body feelings and exploring our wildlife area. We are so lucky at St Andrews to have wonderful grounds to use. @ThriveApproach

Thrilled to share that I became a qualified Course Leader for Family Thrive today and couldn’t have asked for a better group of ladies to be on the virtual journey with @ThriveApproach

So many amazing Thrive sessions this week. Although we are delivering remotely the children are connecting and engaging and we are having so much fun and laughter @ThriveApproach

@Mel51e4 @ThriveApproach Some great ideas

Talking to adults working in schools this week, I sense a lot of anxiety and stress. Children and young people are looking to you as a role model for how you manage this. Take some time out to practice some regulating strategies and feel the benefits for you all @ThriveApproach
