Mental Health<br />
We recognised World Mental Health Day on 10th October.<br />
We have been really proud of the children’s mature attitude to this.<br />
We were particularly impressed with their definition of what mental health is.<br />
Positive mental health enables you to deal with challenges, have a go at new things, make<br />
friends and communicate effectively, be open-minded, feel good about yourself and lead a<br />
happy life.<br />
This term each class will be having an age-appropriate session with an<br />
Educational Mental Health Practitioner.<br />
They will be exploring in more detail what mental health is and<br />
how they can achieve good mental health.<br />
The classes that have already had the sessions have found them useful and have some<br />
strategies they can use to help them when they feel negative emotions.<br />
There are some great resources online that you can use at home to support conversations<br />
around mental health and issues that might affect mental health.<br />
Here are some that come highly recommended:<br />
