🤗 Faleminderit të gjithë fëmijëve dhe familjeve që erdhën dje
📚 Fëmijët shijuan orët e tyre të gjuhës
🧠Si pjesë e Javës së Ndërgjegjësimit për Shëndetin Mendor, ne u përqendruam në lëvizje për aktivitetet tona në sallë
🏋️‍♂️Sipas mentalhealth.org.uk, kur jemi fizikisht aktivë, truri ynë çliron kimikate që na bëjnë të ndihemi mirë të quajtura endorfina dhe serotonina, të cilat mund të përmirësojnë natyrshëm humorin tonë, të zvogëlojnë tensionin dhe stresin dhe të na bëjnë të ndihemi më energjikë
🏀Ne shijuam basketbollin
👯‍♀️Ne gjithashtu shijuam vallëzimin
🗓️ Seanca tjetër e shkollës komunitare 6 qershor (pas gjysmës së semestrit)
🌞Takimi komunitar i gjysmës së semestrit në Roath Rec data do të konfirmohet sa më shpejt të jetë e mundur (e enjte, 28 ose e premte, 29 maj, në varësi të motit)

🇦🇱🇽🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Thank You 🇦🇱🇽🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
🤗 Thank you to all the children and families for coming yesterday
📚 Children enjoyed their language classes
🧠As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we focused on movement for our hall activities
🏋️‍♂️According to mentalhealth.org.uk when we are physically active, our brains release feel good chemicals called endorphins and serotonin which can naturally improve our mood, reduce tension and stress and make us feel more energised
🏀We enjoyed Basketball
👯‍♀️We also enjoyed dancing
🗓️ Next community school session 6th June (after half term)
🌞Half term community meet up Roath Rec date to be confirmed asap (Thursday 28th or Friday 29th May, weather dependent)
