World Mental Health Day in Year 3

Today October 10th marked World Mental Health Day. This year, the theme was ‘mental health in the workplace.’ As school is our place of learning, we all came in wearing yellow to celebrate the day. We discussed our mental health, how we can keep our minds healthy and who we can talk to if we need help. We voted on what we would like to do with the help of our school councillors, who kindly gave everybody a yellow ribbon to wear. We spent time outdoors in nature exploring and doing some gentle exercise. We had relaxing music playing and completed mindful colouring. We talked about different feelings using the characters from the movie ‘Inside Out.’ To end the day, we all completed a gratitude journal and shared positive messages whilst acknowledging all of the lovely things that we have to be thankful for. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day spent with our friends and teachers.
