We were thrilled to celebrate Children’s Mental Health Day with excitement and creativity! This year, inspired by Place2Be, our theme was Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. The school counsellors delivered a special assembly to all students, highlighting the importance of understanding and taking care of our mental health.
Each year group explored a book about well-being and participated in activities linked to the book. Students enjoyed a variety of activities, including yoga, P.E., arts and crafts linked to feelings and emotions, kindness tasks, circle time, mindfulness breathing exercises, nature walks and more.
To promote self-expression, children came to school dressed in outfits that represented their personality and feelings. It was wonderful to see their confidence as they shared the stories behind their outfits and celebrated what made them unique.
The day was full of fun, reflection, and learning. It was heart-warming to see how well the children understand the importance of looking after their mental health, just as they care for their physical health. It was a truly special day for everyone!
