Mental Health Week

This week is Children's Mental Health week and over the week we are going to be completing a range of P.S.H.E. and wellness activities. Today we are going to be reading the story 'Ruby's Worry'.

- What are worries?

- How do we feel when we are worried?

- What can we do if we feel worried?

- Who can we speak to?

Remember it is perfectly normal to feel worried about things from time to time. One helpful thing that we can do to help ease our worries is by talking to someone we can trust. They can either help us feel slightly better or they can help us think of solutions to our problems.

Activity 2: Create a mind map with your name in the middle. Is there anything that is worrying you at the moment? If there is add this to the mind map. In a different colour write who you could speak to or what you could possibly do to ease that worry.
