Children’s Mental Health Week: 2nd – 6th February
Our school will be taking part in Children’s Mental Health Week, which run in our school from Monday 2nd February to Friday 6th February. This is an important opportunity to promote positive mental health and wellbeing among our children.
To mark the start of the week, on Monday 2nd February, children are invited to come to school wearing their own clothes, with a touch of green or all green, to represent mental health awareness.
Throughout the week, children will take part in a range of age-appropriate classroom activities designed to help them:
- Understand what mental health is
- Recognise and talk about their emotions
- Learn healthy ways to express how they are feeling
- Understand the importance of supporting themselves and others
We encourage open and supportive discussions, helping children feel confident to talk about their feelings and wellbeing.
