This year’s theme is ‘This is My Place’.
The aim of this is to help children and young people feel a sense of belonging in their friendships, schools and communities, recognising its importance for mental health. Our focus for this year has been around emotional literature, giving children the language to describe their feelings and that it is ok not to feel happy all the time.
During CMHW we are going to think about what makes me smile? Helping the children to think about what they like to do when they are not feeling great to put that smile back on their faces.
Every child is then going to draw, write and design a poster showing what makes me/ them smile. Each class will have a winner and receive a small prize.
Key Stage 2 are also going to write poems about ‘What makes me smile’
Finally on Friday 20th February we are having a non-uniform day and the children are being encouraged to ‘Come As Yourself’ We are also going to have a movie and hot chocolate in our classes for everyone to enjoy at the end of the week.
