EAL - COVID-19

Home Wellbeing Ideas for BAME and EAL Pupils and Parents During the COVID-19 Pandemic

• Focus on the familiar – a lot of things have changed, but what is the same?
• If you cannot access a place that you normally go, for example a shop, a mosque, or a church, you could make a model of this at home.
• Get some exercise - take a walk in the local park (Preston is full of them!) or play some games in the park or garden.
• Phone or Facetime relatives and friends – ensure a responsible adult is on the call.  
• Read a story together, or play with sensory toys.
• Follow a recipe or enjoy a themed meal – you could imagine you are in a favourite café or restaurant!
• Practise breathing exercises or yoga – there some ideas at this site:
