Wellbeing at testing times

It's a difficult period in our careers, and as the long term continues into Term 2, we may be feeling especially tired at the moment, both mentally and physically. There are no magic wands, but there are tips. It starts with awareness and empathetic feelings. The article below is a quick read that may help:

During T1 we tried our first full rollout of the "Continuous reporting" innovation, after a successful trial in two y4 classes before the Summer. 70 parents responded with feedback, and a simple report with the major findings is here.

We will be looking at ways in which we can improve the system, and your TLs will be asking you during meetings for any feedback. Thank you for your support for this system, as you will see at the end of the report, it did not go unappreciated. 

Antti Kaartinen, press officer for the European Environment Agency is going to hold a webinar for Eco-echools network. It will be focusing on how to access and use the EEA’s publicly available reports, briefings, data, interactive maps, and other resources.
