World Mental Health Day 2020
The charity YoungMinds is calling on schools across the country to take part in #HelloYellow on World Mental Health Day (Friday 9th October 2020) to show young people they’re not alone with their mental health.
We want #HelloYellow to be a positive and fun way for children to share the message that it’s okay to reach out for help and for children to be confident with knowing who to come to if they need help and support no matter what problems they feel they are facing. During the day we will look at different ways to support positivity and to raise awareness. By wearing yellow trousers, a yellow wig or a yellow t-shirt, children and teachers alike can show their support!

Upper Key Stage 2
Year 5 and 6 each had a class discussion all about World Mental Health and what it means to look after your mental health. We spoke about being 'mind kind' as well as focusing on the theme 'Be Kind', as you never know what some what else is experiencing or dealing with. After having a class discussion and reading some PowerPoints, Year 5 made a 'Be Kind' acrostic poster.
Year 5 and 6 bubble got together in the hall to take part in some mindfulness GoNoodle videos. They then finished off with a fun dancing video, to make them smile!
