World Mental Health Day
Today, is World Mental Health Day and the children at Anker Valley have come to school wearing an item of yellow clothing.
This morning, they had an assembly with Mrs Free where they discussed what ‘mental health’ means and how we all have different feelings and emotions at different times and that this is ok. They thought about ways they could look after themselves, including: talking, being outside, exercising, eating healthy balanced diets and getting lots of sleep. The children identified who their trusted adults were for if they needed to share how they were feeling too.
