Children's Mental Health Week 2025: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself

This year, in assemblies and in class, we have been discussing how important it is to know and name your emotions in order to help manage them. The children loved watching video clips of Inside Out' and were fantastic at thinking of different emotional vocabulary to describe Riley's emotions. Children were then challenged to create an alphabet of emotions. See our progress below!

We also welcomed Inspirations Dance in to school where they ran dance workshops around the theme of emotions for years 1-6. The children absolutely loved it. To end our week, we joined in with the Young Voices Worldwide Singalong to celebrate what would have been Bob Marley's 80th birthday. The children joined in beautifully with school all over the world to sing a medley. What a week!

Children's Mental Health Week 2024

My Voice Matters!

This year, we celebrated and raised awareness of Children's Mental Health Week by doing some of the following:

• Whole school assembly looking at Charlie Mackesy's book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse
• Lots of different class activities including making gratitude trees, defining mental health and top tips for supporting it and using our voices to write letters to people on power to make the changes pupils want to see.
• Children shared their work at the end of the week
• Some classes took part in a mindfulness activity, courtesy of Master Owl Mindfulness, who's author, Rob Holmes, so kindly sent every child in the school a book mark. For more information, here is his website:  www.robholmes.org
