Well-being & Mindfulness

Britain Get Talking- Whitegate End Get Talking

World Mental Health Day 2019 On Thursday, 10th October 2019, we watched a very special live interactive lesson from the BBC aimed at promoting emotional wellbeing and encouraging a growth mindset in primary school pupils aged 7 - 11.

Growth Mindset - What is a good mistake?

Mindfulness & Relax Kids
In school we are aware of the need at times to support all pupils, staff and parents emotional well being. All of our support staff have had extensive training by Relax Kids. In each of our classrooms we have a safe place, a worry box and a proud cloud.

What a great turn out today for our Parent/Carer Relax Kids session. Everyone had a chance to find out a bit more about Relax Kids and have a go at some of the activities with our pupils.

MIND ed Are you a parent or carer who is concerned about your child? Or perhaps you just want some hints and tips on parenting? MindEd for Families has online advice and information from trusted sources and will help you to understand and identify early issues and best support your child

All the children have now been introduced to the 'Relax Kids' scheme and are learning lots of new skills, which will help them develop good mental health management.

Sessions are taking place weekly within classes from Nursery through to Year 6 and the children are really enjoying their relaxation time.

Ask them about the crocodile, elephant and monkey.

The Bubble is a place for children to come and talk about things they may be worried about. It is a relaxing quiet space where children can feel safe and listened to. Children sometimes take part in activities in the Bubble such as Memory boxes for lost loved ones & friendship groups.
