It was an In Service day at school and the theme was Health and Well being. The morning was taken up with staff meetings, as is usual on these occasions. However the afternoon was a bit different; we all signed up to an activity that would contribute to our well being. The choices included walking, badminton, yoga, football, reading, cooking and beauty treatments and were all run by members of staff. I chose film club and what fun it was! The teacher who arranged it had gone to a lot of trouble. She gave us popcorn and soft drinks and sweets, and we sat on really comfy beanbags. Then she showed us a selection of really interesting short films, it was great that we were able to see a variety rather than just one film. The final and longest film at thirty-four minutes was The Red Balloon, a French film from 1956. It was a gentle, quirky wee film and we all throughly enjoyed the afternoon. I had been feeling a bit cynical about attending motivational activities but in fact the afternoon put me in a tremendously good mood and I did feel very upbeat!
