Harold – our happy, healthy giraffe mascot and a favourite with children – will be posting a daily blog: Harold’s Daily Diary! Here’s the link to it: https://www.coramlifeeducation.org.uk/harolds-daily-diary
Each day he’ll be giving children positive, fun messages about what he’s doing to stay happy and healthy while he’s off school, separated from his friends. He’ll invite the children to join in with activities he’s doing.
He’ll be giving children ideas for how he – and they – can get a routine going for their day, including the things we all need to do to live a balanced, healthy life. These include:
·Taking regular exercise
·Being creative
·Helping others
·Connecting with others – in ways that are safe
·Mindfulness – learning to enjoy the moment, here and now.
