As part of our Well-Being Week, Year 3 students from Wakefield Girls’ and QEGS participated in a heart warming ‘Well-Being and Me’ session led by Mrs. Agus, a dedicated NHS professional and one of our supportive parents. Her engaging workshop focused on exploring well-being and the keys to personal happiness.

The session kicked off with an exciting activity where students crafted their own ‘well-being shields,’ a creative tool designed to symbolise protection and a sense of safety. Each student decorated their shield with elements that bring them happiness. Mrs. Agus shared her own example, featuring family, relaxing bubble baths, dogs, and artistic hobbies. The children then eagerly contributed their ideas, including drawing, running, ice hockey, skating, and football.

The workshop also included meaningful discussions on the importance of random acts of kindness and the benefits of mindfulness. The highlight was a calming rainbow meditation exercise. Students were guided to breathe deeply, inhaling relaxation and exhaling any worries. They visualised a vibrant rainbow, taking time to appreciate its colours and the positive emotions they evoke.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Agus for her generosity and expertise in leading this inspiring session. Her workshop not only provided valuable tools for well-being but also left our Year 3 students feeling uplifted and more in tune with their own happiness.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Agus for her willingness to lead this enlightening workshop.
