Please can we have a count up of where we are now? Can you let me know how many you have ready to go?
Yesterday I discovered that I have some fleece fabric, so have sewn two fleece scarves and one hat so far! Very warm and snuggly - and so much quicker than my crocheting efforts! I think we must have quite a few items already....

Book Share was very interesting - and fun- today! We discussed Thomas Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree and chose The Tattooist of Auschwitz for our next book. Next Book Share zoom is on Thursday 11th Feb at 2pm. Let me know if you want to join us! Other chat also takes place!
When big emotions come up there are a number of techniques that can help us to manage them. For example, find a quiet space to calm down, take deep breaths, distract yourself with exercise, music, or reading, or talk to someone you trust. Use grounding techniques, which involve paying close attention to your senses and the details of what you can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel around you. For example, listening out for lyrics or different instruments in music, focusing on brush or pencil strokes when painting and colouring, or eating mindfully to notice textures and tastes.
Thank you, Jane
