As part of Children’s Mental Health Awareness week, Y1 have been “Reaching for the Stars” and setting ourselves goals (Of course Miss H had to share one of her favourite songs!). We planted cress and talked about how our goals sometimes take time to achieve and we don’t always see growth straight away.

In cherry blossom class we wrote down activities we could do when we are feeling worried. After this, we did some meditation.

The children in Oak class have really enjoyed learning about ways they can take care of their mental well-being. They have especially enjoyed meditation and we are aiming to meditate more often.

We have been exploring our different feelings as part of Mental Health Week in FS2. We know we can feel happy, sad, angry, and scared, We thought carefully about what makes us happy and how we can make other people feel happy too.
