Children's Mental Health Week This week we celebrated Children's Mental Health Week with the theme "This Is My Place." Throughout the week, children took part in mindfulness sessions, music meditation, sensory activities, the Daily Mile and outdoor reflection time. Classes also explored where they feel they belong through belonging maps, murals and reflective writing. Mental health is about how we think, feel and cope with everyday life. Looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our bodies, and it is something we take very seriously as a school community. UNICEF Article 24 – Every child has the right to the best possible health. We are so proud of the thoughtful discussions and fantastic work produced across the school
