These wellbeing apps are tried and tested by our very own pupils here at Brooke. Here's what they had to say:
Mylo Yr 5 - "There are lots of mindful games and breathing exercises in Chill Panda."
Aubrey Yr 4 - "I played Piku Calm Kids and the meditation was fun."
Apps are available to download on a home tablet or phone device. Please speak to a parent for help to download any of the apps.
Bottling up your feelings can make them hard to cope with. But there are lots of ways you can let them out. You can try some of the activities or games to help you to explore your feelings.
Telling someone how you feel can be tough, but it can really help you feel less alone.
You don't need to tell someone everything at once. You could start by choosing one person you trust to talk to. You could talk to a friend, a parent or a teacher.
If you are finding talking hard, you can share a drawing, a story or a video with an adult to let them know how you are feeling.
- Say one nice thing to someone every day
- Smile (It's contagious)
- Play a team game
- Invite others to join in your games
- Say please and thank you
- Be there for others who are going through a hard time
- Tell an adult if you see someone else being unkind
