The ROAR! Response to Mental Health in Primary Schools
 |
We all have mental health, and there are things that happen to us everyday that have either a positive or negative effect on how we are feeling. The ROAR rainbow scale can be used to gauge where children are at key points in the day.
ROAR Rainbow
Ask your child/children to rate themselves and how they feel along the rainbow. This will give you a good idea of how ready and able they are to engage with whatever you are doing at that point in the day.
This could be used over a week to identify key times of the day when your child’s mental health is low. How could you change your routine and structure of the day to change this?
Could you put in an exercise session or relaxation?
Is it time to connect with friends and family?
Is it time to go outside and enjoy some fresh air and connect with nature?
Time for a break – relax listening to music or enjoy a good book together.
You could create a simple timetable when you log these scores to help identify the key times in the day or the day of the week when extra strategies are needed to maintain good mental health.

This month our Musician of the Month is Katherine Jenkins who is a famous opera singer. Operas were a popular form of musicals which told a story through song and were often sung in Italian. It takes lots of musical training and practise to sing the notes like this.
Two of these three songs have a Christian theme. Do you recognise the last song from the famous soundtrack we looked at in April? It features in Titanic as it was a favourite hymn (song to God) in the 1910s.
