This week we have been celebrating Children's Mental Health Week. 

Your children have been actively engaging in activities and discussions centred around mental health. As part of our Wellbeing Assembly, we explored the theme of Children's Mental Health Week, which is in association with Here4You and supported by Disney. You can find out more about this initiative here: Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week - Official site

This Year's Theme: "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself"

The theme for this year's Children's Mental Health Week is "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself." It's a wonderful opportunity for our children to reflect on their personal growth and self-awareness. In our classes, we've been working on several activities to help them understand and appreciate their unique qualities.

The children have all also participated in a special yoga session focussing on listening to their bodies and developing helpful strategies to support good mental health. 

Meet our Wellbeing Officers:

We thought that Children's Mental Health Week would be the perfect opportunity to introduce our new Wellbeing Offices. These children are going to work hard with Miss Waugh to ensure that all our children always have a friendly face to chat with if they need it. They will be there if anyone needs a buddy or someone to help them at breaktimes. The Wellbeing Officers will also deliver half-termly assemblies which will focus on helping us identify and deal with our 'big emotions'.

You can spot them in the playground wearing their purple hats or around school with their purple badges.
