Hello from home! A lockdown assembly from our home to yours 15 th January 2021
Welcome back – sort of… • Happy New Year! • What’s around the corner? • Being resilient is very important.
Everyone goes through ups and downs in their lives
The River of Life Sometimes we can describe the ups and downs of life as being like a river. The river of life takes everyone on a different journey, each one full of expeditions and adventures.
Sometimes we will find ourselves in calm waters When the river is calm, it is easy to enjoy the journey. When this happens in life, we feel like everything in our lives is going smoothly.
Sometimes we will find ourselves in difficult waters When the river hits rocks, rapids and obstacles, it becomes much more difficult to keep going. When this happens in life, we can find it much more difficult to cope with the ups and downs of life.
We can’t control what life throws at us Sometimes we will all find ourselves in difficult waters
We can learn to be more resilient
We are learning how to navigate the river of life Hi, my name is Skipper is the captain of his boat, sailing along the river of life. Just like you, Skipper experiences a range of ups and downs every day. He is learning how to navigate his boat around the obstacles and has even got better at coping when his boat gets into difficulties.
We can all learn ways to cope better with the river of life Skipper wasn’t born with an ability to navigate his way through choppy waters. He had to learn the skills he needed as he grew up. Each time he met a new challenge, he developed ways to cope.
Skipper has found that these ten things help him to cope with the river of life

Rainbow visits this week Stay safe and cover your face. Stay safe and keep a space. Stay safe and wash your hands. Stay safe to protect our lands. I dream of my friends who I would like to see. Playing on the beach and paddling in the sea. A special trip to Portabello. With warm sand that is so yellow. So stay safe and keep mellow.
