A pupil wanted to try knitting, so we learned together. The gentle rhythm & chat helped them find calm & focus again. Each stitch built confidence, care, & quiet joy — a nurturing rhythm, a new skill, & wellbeing working side by side. #MindfulMoments #Article31 #NurturingPractice #LearningTogether

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
Sometimes it’s hard to talk—especially with family or friends. That’s ok. Reaching outside your circle can make all the difference.
You’re not alone. #WMHD #MentalHealthMatters

Lately, we’ve been talking to pupils about journaling—a simple but powerful self-care tool to feel more in control when life gets overwhelming. Writing thoughts down eases the mental load, calms the mind & creates breathing space. A small habit, big impact. Why not try it? 📝 #Journaling #SelfCare

Just a week to go until the doors of the House of Hormones open again, this time for a free online event (9 Oct, 5.30pm). When mum or a carer's menopausal & the kids are going through adolescence, hormonal changes can drive conflict. Reserve a place to learn more: eventbrite.com/e/house-of-h...

Not every day will go your way. Not every day will feel okay. But it is okay to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. You’re not alone, and this feeling will pass.

Tough day? Be kind to yourself. Take a moment to breathe and know it’s okay. Change your scenery if you can, or find a quiet moment. Today will end, and you’re doing your best. Remember, you’re not alone. Saying “today was hard” is a start. 💙 #OneDayAtATime #KeepGoing #HardDaysHappen

This morning in The Haven, nurture led the way. A dysregulated pupil talked about the flowers. A passing by colleague stopped & gave an impromptu lesson on pollination.
The pupil’s mood shifted. A quiet, powerful moment of connection unfolded 🌸

🐠 In The Harbour, Goldie the goldfish is more than a pet — it’s a teacher. Pupils learn care, empathy, and responsibility. For some, watching Goldie gently opens the door to conversation. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference 💛

This is your Monday reminder:don’t spend your time comparing yourself to others.
We learn & grow in our own way. What you do well? Maybe you’re kind,a good friend, or really trying your best.
It’s okay to go at your own pace. Be proud of who you are, just as you!

Lovely day with Outdoor Education on a coastal walk in South Queensferry. We explored the area, asked lots of questions, took a mindful moment listening to the waves. We managed to walk 5K.
@ghslighthouse.bsky.social we even spotted a lighthouse.
