Last week was Children’s Mental Health week, and across the school each class completed activities linked to the theme ‘Healthy Inside and Out’. We also had an assembly using ideas from the charity ‘Place 2 be’ which encouraged the children to think about what they can do if they are feeling down and how they can use 3 key factors to help them stay healthy inside and out :
- Food – Health and Varied
- Exercise – Being Active
- Sleep – Getting enough regular sleep
Attached to this newsletter is also some top tips for home.
In Reception, the children made posters to share how they keep healthy. Delilah says “you need to eat lots of vegetables and sleep.”
In Year 1 and 2, they thought about kindness and how you can be kind to others.
In Year 3 and 4, they discussed the importance of mental health and how they can help improve our own. They thought about what they are good at and what they liked about others.
In Year 5 and 6, they had a dedicated circle time to think about being themselves and valuing each other. They created a kindness and wellness wall with positive quotes and thoughts.
If you have any worries or concerns about your child and their mental health, please see their class teacher.
