Wellness for Families - February Half Term

In February half term we would normally welcome families to the Cathedral to join us in craft activities. As this isn’t possible this year, we have put together a downloadable resource pack based on the theme of Wellness. 

Each activity encourages children to think about their mental health in an age appropriate way and gives an opportunity to discuss their emotions with a parent or care giver, while being fun and creative.

This pack is aimed at primary school age children and includes the following three activities:

Making a worry doll
Making a prayer cube
How to grow a rainbow experiment

These can all be completed by children and families at home with simple resources such as pens, scissors and glue.
