Children’s Mental Health Week provides an important chance to reflect on how we all look after our mental and emotional health. Throughout the week, children have taken part in activities linked to wellbeing, self-expression, and understanding what helps them feel grounded and supported. To celebrate the end of the week, children have Dressed to Express!

This year’s Mental Health Week theme is “This is My Place.”  It encourages children to think about the places where they feel safe, happy, confident, and free to be themselves. It’s a lovely opportunity to explore belonging, comfort, and the things that support positive mental health. Year 1 had a wonderful time creating their own “My Place”  this afternoon. The children reflected on what makes them happy and expressed their ideas through their artwork. Well done, Class 4!

As part of Children’s Mental Health Week   our children took part in The Big Sing-A-Long.

Year 2 pupils came to school in their pyjamas to celebrate the start of their new class book, Couch Potato  by Jory John.

Our local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) visited Year 4 and Year 5 children to help them understand the importance of good behaviour and the consequences of anti-social actions.
