On Thursday (09/05), the whole school had a Wellness Day, where we focused on how we can look after our mental health. We found out what mental health means, and the different ways that we can share and manage our emotions.

Talking Mental Health is an animation designed to help begin conversations about mental health in the classroom and beyond. The animation and accompanying resources have been created by a team of animators, children, teachers and clinicians, and is being taught to year 5 and 6 children around the UK.

In our classes, we had a go at lots of different wellness activities to see which ones we felt helped us. We completed some breathing exercises, yoga, a nature walk and mindfulness colouring. We talked about how we can use these activities to re-focus ourselves and take some time to focus on our feelings.

Check out some of us having a go at some yoga!
