This week, on top of Safer Internet Day, we have also been taking part in Children’s Mental Health Week, which, we are sure you will agree, is extremely important. As you know, human beings are intrinsically connected to each other, and these connections are vital for the wellbeing of all individuals. Children with positive connections to family, friends and others often experience better mental health. When our need for such social connections is not met, often we can feel isolated and lonely. That is why, this year, the theme is ‘Let’s Connect’ – encouraging an inclusive approach to making meaningful connections for all.

Mrs Walters and some of the Rights Ambassadors held an assembly all around this theme, which then enabled lots of talking and activities in class to find out who they feel connected to and why. We created a huge string web in Primrose Class to demonstrate how we are all connected in some way! Teamwork also came into play to solve a challenge… whilst also being physically connected holding hands!
