Wellbeing at Thomas Estley

The Duchess of Cambridge to lead assembly on kindness Place2Be’s royal patron HRH The Duchess of Cambridge will lead an online assembly for the Oak National Academy today (Thursday 18 June), during which she will speak about the importance of children's mental wellbeing. The theme of The Duchess’ assembly is ‘spread a little kindness’  The Duchess will say:  “Talking to someone, whether it’s a friend, family member, or teacher, is something you can do to make yourself feel that little bit better. And you can also play your part in helping others to feel better too, whether offering a friendly ear, or helping someone in need. Small acts of kindness can go such a long way. But as we help others, we mustn’t forget to nurture ourselves, by taking the time to focus on the things that make us feel happy too.” The link for the assembly will be found here:  https://classroom.thenational.academy/assemblies/ Tip for parents home schooling is now available here:  https://thomasestleycc.sharep
