Children’s Mental Health Week – Reception

9th February 2023K Richardson

This week in school we have been talking about children’s mental health.  We discussed how it is just as important to have a healthy mind as it is to have a healthy body. We also thought about who we should talk to if we are worried, scared, cross or upset and how it is okay to have these feelings but so important to talk to someone about it. We discussed ways to help us keep calm, relaxed and happy.  We used these strategies in class:

We gave each other compliments!

Here are some of our comments:

We are kind.
We give good cuddles.
We share with our friends.
We listen to our friends.
We make people laugh and smile.
We play with friends.
We look after everyone.

 

We drew using the Youtube tutorials, did some Cosmic Kids Yoga and read the story ‘The Dot’ discussing resilience and how we should not give up!

Our Reception Classes are really enjoying our ‘Little Movers‘ sessions this term. Working with Pip our specialist leader, the children have been learning a range of physical development skills to boost their movement, balance and coordination across the curriculum. The children have loved the games and songs too – they have been really fun to be involved with and the smiles on our children’s faces is lovely to see. Well done everyone!
