Children’s Mental Health Week 5th -11th Feb 2024
Dear Parents/Carers,
Children’s Mental Health Week will take place from 5th-11th February 2024. The theme this year is ‘my voice matters’.
This theme is about empowering children and young people by equipping them with tools to express themselves and look after their mental health and wellbeing.
In our continued effort to raise standards and wellbeing for all, we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week as follows:
Monday 5th Feb: Dress to Express Mufti Day.
Children and adults are invited to wear something that speaks loudly about who they are, what they like, what makes them feel happy, relaxed, content. It could be a superhero costume, their favourite shoes, a fun hat or anything that makes one feel positive about oneself! We will ask for £1 donation. Funds raised will be used to purchase sensory equipment.
Monday 5th Feb to Wednesday 7th Feb: Zones of Regulation Yoga for Parent & Child
Join Miss Ancel from 08:30 to 08:45 to practise a standing up yoga routine. Experience Zones to Regulation in action with your child. If you want to attend with your child, please join Miss Ancel in the Assembly hall.
In addition to the above, all children will take part in activities throughout the week aimed at showing them a range of tools they can use to look after their mental wellbeing.
These are as follows:
Reception, YR1 and YR2 will take part in Forest Meditation led by Miss Simion in the Forest School area.
YR3, YR4, YR5 and YR6 will work with Miss Ancel and Mrs Pollington on confidence skills.
Check out the Wellbeing page and the school’s Twitter feed for more info from 5th February.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Pollington and Miss Ancel
