Mental Health Awareness Week in P4B/H
On ‘Mindful Monday’ we followed a ‘Mindful Looking’ activity to improve our concentration and focus.
On ‘Talk it Out Tuesday’ we completed a body scanner activity to make us more aware of our bodies and how our bodies feel. After reading ‘The Colour Monster’ we talked about different types of feelings and how they affect our bodies.
On ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’, after some guided meditation, we drew our secret treehouse - a calm place in our mind.
On ‘Thankful Thursday’, we listened to the Dr Seuss story ‘Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?’ and enjoyed a special assembly that had us dancing at the end! In class, we filled a gratitude jar with reasons to be thankful and shared them with the class. And finally, we spent some time outdoors in our fantastic school grounds that we are SO thankful for - planting beans and simply having fun!
A wonderful way to spend the week and a great reminder of how easy it is to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our children.
