BOLTON COLLEGE CHALLENGE It’s not too late to take part in the Lockdown Olympics! Click to watch the success of participants so far!

If you have a disability, we can adapt elements of the event to meet your needs – please email sam.santley@boltoncc.ac.uk for more details.
Lockdown Olympics Ends Sunday 28th February
Do you have what it takes to win Gold? Round 1 1 METRE TEABAG THROW It’s you against the teabags! Get 10 teabags and attempt to throw them into a mug 1 metre away – how many teabags can you get in the mug? Round 2 THE WALL SIT Sitting still is easy right? WRONG! Put your back right up against a wall with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle, with your arms folded or down by your side. Now, wait for the pain to hit but don’t give up, pain is your friend! If you can do over 75 seconds, we’ll be impressed! Round 3 1.5 MILE RUN Download the FREE Strava app and join ‘Bolton College Luna Challenge’ group. We’ve been easy on you so far, so now it’s time to work up a bit of a sweat. Quite simply, how fast can you run 1.5 miles? Scores will be recorded on Strava, so it’s essential you join to take part.
All students and staff are invited to participate in Bolton College’s Lockdown Olympics; now don’t worry if your cupboards are severely lacking in Olympic equipment – we’re saying NO to figure skates, bobsleighs and skis and YES to teabags, trainers and toilet rolls - this is an Olympics like no other! The event runs for 7 weeks, and each week will be dedicated to one activity. Taking part is easy – simply film yourself completing each round, then upload the video to social media or email Sam Santley – full details below. There are 10 points up for grabs for each round, evidenced weekly on a leader board. The best bit? At the end of the event, the top three individuals in each student and staff category will win a prize! So, summon that Olympic spirit, and check out what’s in store:
Round 4 10 ROLL BOWLING If you’ve bulk-bought toilet roll like last lockdown, this round will be a piece of cake. Stack 10 toilet rolls onto each other in a 4-3-2-1 formation, just like a pyramid, then use another toilet roll to knock them down. You only have one shot, can you get a STRIKE!? Round 5 30 MINUTE RUN/WALK CHALLENGE You should already have Strava from Round 3 but if not, download the app and join ‘Bolton College Luna Challenge’ group. How far can you travel in 30 minutes? Distance is the aim, but it’s up to you whether you walk, speed walk, hop or run! Scores will be recorded on Strava, so it’s essential you join to take part. Round 6 PRESS-UPS IN A MINUTE It’s time to use those guns - how many press ups can you complete in 1 minute? Round 7 SOCK, CLAP & CATCH Roll up a pair of CLEAN socks, throw them up in the air and clap before you catch them again. How many catches can you achieve in 1 minute without dropping the socks?
It’s time to go for GOLD! To participate, record each activity then upload to Twitter or Instagram, tagging in either: @BoltonSport_PS or @boltoncollegesport Alternatively, email your video to sam.santley@boltoncc.ac.uk

'Life DID YOU KNOW?
Research published in the Creativity Research Journal found that colouring-in can: • Increase mindfulness • Reduce some symptoms of anxiety Some studies have suggested that signs of anxiety can be decreased even more by colouring-in mandalas, which are symbols often associated with meditation and mindfulness. There are lots of free templates available online, or you could even splash the cash and treat yourself to a book.
Take a look at this colourful example below!

If you’re looking for something therapeutic, then colouring-in might be for you! It’s not just for children; there are plenty of adult colouring-in books available too. You might want to use colouring as a relaxing activity on your lunch break if you’re working, or as something to do whilst watching TV in the evening.

2020…the year to remember Talented Early Years apprentice Millie King created this impressive poem in her English class:
E O P
Although the year we thought was going to be the best, turned out to be nothing but a mess, There’s been some fun times, happy times and even a little laughter, When COVID came along, it was just a disaster. From laughing in London, watching fireworks with friends, To staying two metres away and cancelling plans. The country got shut down, which made everyone feel down. Families were split up, and friendships were lost too, All thanks to good old COVID, we love you too. Borders were closed, across air, sea and land, The world that we knew, had turned into COVID land. People wore masks, gloves and constantly gave their hands a good wash. But that’s not all, there was soon even more fear for us all. When Boris announced lockdown, everyone felt scared. From standing and chatting to dodging everyone everywhere. From hugging and kissing to waving through a screen, I think at one point, everyone let out a good scream. The anger, the upset, the ever-lasting pain, Saying goodbye to family members, sometimes never to see again. The confusion and hurt caused some people to shatter, But they weren’t even sure what was really the matter. The hope and joy kept people believing, Support bubbles were good, but not for the shielding. Finally lockdown ended, but all wasn’t how it seems, Plans were made then cancelled, Pubs were open then shut.
16
Y R T E People hoped they’d go back to their job, Whilst others went back to their perfect job. Some were seen begging for money, Whilst others were seen swimming in money. Schools went back, people mixing, That only led to more COVID testing. Tier one, two and three but which one were you in? People went out, whilst others stayed in. Stay safe and take care, the government ranted. As we come to the end of this horrible year, Let’s remember, it’s the time to cheer. Your decs should be up, including your tree, Christmas is coming, which means a bubble of three. Switch on your lights and make them extra bright. And remember, this year was probably the worst one, But Christmas 2020 will be the best one! Stay safe and take care everyone! 2020… the year to remember!

E E Y O L P M E G IN T R O TIPS FOR SUPP N W O D K C O L G IN R U WELLBEING D
Be Flexible and Compassionate
These are unique and extraordinary times which will be challenging for all of us in different ways. Examples such as having children who would ordinarily be at school or elderly relatives who require assistance will add to the stresses and strains of everyday life. Encouraging flexible working hours and paying extra attention to workload management will help people balance their ‘work’ and ‘home’ lives.
Encourage Best Practice for Staff Working From Home
2
Not everyone will be used to remote working. Simple things like properly setting up a workspace that is separate from ‘home’ space, taking regular screen breaks, and clearing away at the end of the day can help people switch off their ‘work mode’ and decompress. Exercise, eating well, and practising self-care can also have a big impact on mental and physical wellbeing.
3
Connect Authentically
Remember that with most of us working remotely, there is less room to bump into each other, chat organically, or discuss concerns we might have. Arranging more informal sessions such as a remote team coffee every morning can help teams stay connected and reduce feelings of isolation. Some organisations have even started collaborative music playlists, virtual yoga sessions, and a company radio station to get to know each other better and maintain a culture of support and collaboration.
Make Time For Supportive Conversations
4
Try to think about ways to adapt, giving support for people who may be struggling with their mental health in a remote setting. Start by applying the same principles of having a supportive conversation as you would in person – set enough time aside, minimise distractions around you (you may need to move to another room), and give the person your full focus by turning off your notifications and other devices.
5
Don’t Pour From An Empty Cup
When supporting your colleagues' wellbeing it’s important to remember to prioritise your own wellbeing. This will give you the best possible chance of providing effective support. Consider the support measures you have around you, whether that’s a peer support network, your line manager, the College Mental Health First Aiders, or the College’s Human Resources Team who of course can provide a listening ear; they can also provide access to other services such as occupational health and counselling. Most importantly encourage anyone who needs support to reach out.

The Learning & Development Mentor team, with the support of ISU, Admin, Estates and Student Support, have been working hard to ensure that ALL our learners have the equipment to engage remotely during the pandemic – in total, they’ve supplied over 750 pieces of equipment!
Just four months after its launch, we've made the Top 10 Schools and Colleges for Xello usage, our new Careers and Employability platform! Well done to the Learning & Development Mentor team, who’ve driven learners to engage.
Caroline Hurst’s Fun, Family Zoom Quiz was a HUGE success! In total, 45 families took part! Organised for staff and their families, Student Liaison Officer Caroline created an event that was engaging and fun for all involved. She certainly went the extra mile to keep spirits up in lockdown!
Carpentry & Joinery apprentices Luis Gould and Tom Grundy achieved distinctions in their Level 3 End-Point Assessments, thanks to the support they received in College. Luis said: ‘My time here has been fantastic and the tutors and staff have been great.’
Luis
Tom added: ‘The hands-on experience has been really beneficial - I’m leaving College with so many transferable skills.’

Several of the College’s Level 3 Early Years students are off to uni! Berivane Wallace has just received an offer to study Primary Education, with Qualified Teacher Status, at Edge Hill.
Onwards and upwards for Berivane!
Childcare & Education learners designed positive affirmation posters for Children’s Mental Health Week. The learners agreed that as adults, they need to focus on their own mental health so that they can be the best versions of themselves for the children in their care.

Supporting someone during Covid Checking in on your family, friends and colleagues is always important. But as the coronavirus pandemic continues, this is more important than ever. Lots of us have felt worried about the coronavirus pandemic, and everyone will feel differently about the changes to lockdown restrictions. If someone’s feeling anxious or worried, you don’t need to be an expert on mental health to support them. Think about using our three top tips:
Check in If someone doesn’t feel ready to meet face-to-face, picking up the phone, having a video call, starting a group chat or messaging someone on social media lets them know you are there to talk and ready to listen
26
Listen & Reflect Whether you have a mental health problem or not, this will be a challenging time for our mental health and wellbeing. If someone opens up to you, remember that you don't need to fix things or offer advice. Often just listening, and showing you take them seriously, can help someone to manage.
Ask Questions & Access Support Ask how people are managing, and ask again if you're worried they aren't sharing the full picture. Asking again, with interest, can help someone to open up and explore what they're feeling. The College’s HR team are also here to support you, so if you need to talk or have any worries then just get in touch with the team via personnel@boltonncc.ac.uk or contact Jane Marsh, Director of Human Resources directly via jane.marsh@boltoncc.ac.uk or call 01204 482 100. HR can provide a listening ear, an opportunity to talk things through or of course, provide support through our occupational health and counselling services.
If you’re in need of mental health advice and information in relation to Covid-19, Mind and Rethink Mental Illness have a number of resources: www.mind.org.uk/information-support/coronavirus www.rethink.org/advice-and-information/covid-19-support

The College’s apprentices made headlines in the Bolton News for their efforts during lockdown – they were praised for their response to the pandemic, and the manner in which they overcame the challenges of the past 12 months.
IN THE SP During the past 12 months we’ve helped each other and supported our partners in the wider community. Here’s how the College has stepped up: Supporting The Bolton Family is an emagazine created by Bolton College, in partnership with Bolton Council. Thanks to contributions from Team Bolton, the emag has done a fantastic job of supporting Bolton’s communities. You can read all issues here. We all know home schooling isn’t easy. Thankfully, our Family Learning team created a Home Survival Guide to support parents and carers, making life that little bit easier. Read it here.
