Calm Boxes

In each of our classrooms we have calm boxes accessible for all children. The boxes are filled with a variety of sensory resources to help support children with self regulation, to encourage focus and to promote calm.

The boxes can be used to prevent children from exploding or imploding, providing opportunities for children to Rest, Re-energise and Regulate.

World Mental Health Day 10th October 2023

Every year we celebrate World Mental Health Day on 10 October. The theme for 2023, set by the World Foundation of Mental Health is ‘Mental health is a universal human right.’

World Mental Health Day is about raising awareness of mental health and driving positive change for everyone’s mental health.

We all need good mental health and wellbeing – it's essential to living happy and healthy lives, and can help us sleep better, feel better, do the things we want to do and have more positive relationships. It can also help us deal with difficult times in the future.

Our Wellbeing Champions are going from class to class today to teach children how to manage difficult emotions through the power of mindfulness.

Anti Bullying Week 2023

This week our Wellbeing Champions decided to take part in Odd Socks Day and spread the message of kindness. This encourages our children to express themselves and celebrate their individuality. 

In Early Years and Key Stage 1 the children read stories about bullying and unpicked unkind behaviours. They then entered the Wellbeing Champions Poster Competition.

In Key Stage 2 the children took part in a live lesson with the BBC and the Antibullying Alliance which helped children to understand bullying and empower them to speak out about it if they see it. The children also entered the Wellbeing Champions Poster Competition.

Take a look at our pictures from the week.
