As we enter Children’s Mental Health week we are using time in class assembly this week to look at the “Take Notice” aspect of Take 5. This highlights how it is good for our Mental Health to slow down our thoughts. Even for a moment. Focusing on the here and now: not dwelling on past experiences or worrying about the future. Pupils are learning and practising breathing and grounding exercises that can help with this. Reflecting the Place2Be theme of “My Voice Matters”, pupils have the opportunity to take part in a survey on their experience of school.
