The announcement of a second lockdown resonated a great deal with the staff and students, as vulnerable members of the community will be isolated from each other in order to keep them safe. In order to combat the feeling of isolation and the negative impact this has on a person's mental health and wellbeing, the staff and students of Riversdale Primary School asked members of the community to share contact deails for a neighbour or family member that lives alone or is shielding. The school is producing pieces of artwork based on the theme of brightness and positivity which will be sent to those nominated to help brighten up their day and spread a little joy in a potentially dark time. This enables the students to understand the importance of social interaction for mental health and wellbeing, discover more about the term vulnerability in realtion to disabilities and foster a respect for others, whilst applying their art work skills.
Here's a quick link to some useful information for parents and carers, including home learning apps and the school's communication app.
