Week Beginning: 9th October, 2023
World Mental Health Day 2023
To celebrate 'World Mental Health Day' we all came to school wearing bright colours. We had a circle time where we talked about what it is all about.
Mental health is all about how we are feeling, the thoughts we are having, how this affects the choices we make and how we behave. It is also how able we are to cope with what is happening in our daily lives.
We tried hard to name lots of emotions and feelings and we also discussed if we had ever felt like this.
We also talked about things we could do help us feel better and support our mental health.
Here are a few ideas that we came up with -
- Being outside.
- Riding a bike.
- Playing with our family and friends.
- Talking to people about how we feel.
- Doing activities that we love.
- Listening to music.
- Colouring and painting.
We also met our class 'Worry Monster' called Zig and we talked about how Zig could help us. The children also enjoyed making brightly colour friendship bracelets with their own initials.
