Wellbeing Support

Lots of activities including videos, games, mindfulness, dancing, yoga, meditation and outdoor fun!

At Wirksworth, children’s wellbeing is considered a great importance and we would like to help you support your child with this during any period of isolation. The following are links to support your child’s wellbeing and mental and physical health. Keeping active, getting outside (this can just be in the garden), being creative (e.g. baking, art), mindfulness time (e.g. mindful colouring, yoga, meditation), can all help support your child and yourselves.
