Mental Health Week- This week is Mental Health Awareness week. We have been discussing with the children what mental health and well being is and the importance of looking after our mental health in the same way we look after our physical health. 

We are looking at 'Being creative and play' and how this can have a positive impact on our mental health.  Have a look at the video we will be watching with the children:

For homework we would like the children to get creative. 

Can they make up a dance, make up a song or rap, draw, paint or get creative in whichever way they wish. This can be sent into school as a piece of work, a piece of art or photos or videos can be emailed in.  We look forward to seeing their work and we hope this strategy and the ones they will learn throughout the week will be used to manage their own well being now and as they get older.
