It is mental health awareness week from 15th to 21st May, with a focus on anxiety. To raise awareness within school, we are going to share a range of breathing techniques over the week to embed strategies to combat feelings of anxiety. The children will also be encouraged to share their own techniques they use with others at school and at home. During the week in our PSHE sessions, we will be focusing on who, what and where we feel safe, calm and happy, and how we can lower our anxiety.

Please see the bottom of the wellbeing hub for a range of calming techniques that we will be using with the children throughout the week.

We are thrilled to again be celebrating World Book Week (w/b 27th February). Please see the attached letter regarding the events and organisation for the week.

Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week 2023 is taking place from 6th-12th February 2023. This year's theme is Let's Connect. Throughout the week, we will be thinking about what keeps our minds happy and healthy and what we can do and who we can speak to if we need help. All the children will be completing an activity during the week which will be displayed throughout the school.

Look at examples of our work below, where we thought carefully about people that we can trust and speak to if we need help:
