Children's Mental Health Week

1st Feb 2023

Children’s Mental Health Week is 6th – 12th February.

The theme this year is  ‘Let’s Connect’

We are encouraging children (and adults) to consider how we can make meaningful connections that support our mental health.

Next week in school all children P1-7 will be given the opportunity to make connections by taking part in a mindfulness session with Mrs McMillan, a whole school outdoor fitness session with Linda from the Amphitheatre and an art project across the year groups. Key Stage 2 will also be taking part in some tasks set by the Taskmaster himself Mr Greg Davis.

We would encourage you to join in at home by trying some of the Moodbooster interactive videos https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/moodboosters . These are designed for children to enjoy movement, mindful moments and encourage feelings of calm.
