We went on a bear hunt this afternoon. 15 minutes of absolute joy! I’ll have to do this again ❤️ #teach #WorldBookDay2024 #Bearhunt #primary #sunshine #outside #wellbeing #learning

My son is #Wonka today. It’s only right he goes in with chocolate and sweets! Big bars for the teachers who work so hard of course. Plus a lovely quote from Matilda #chocolate #WorldBookDay2024 #teachers #primary

Happy well-being Wednesday to all! The weather was a treat today. We had a lovely breakfast this morning with a few more staff. Might get planning some outside activities if this sunshine keeps up #wellbeingwednesday #wellbeing #mentalhealth #teacher #wednesday

The sun was shining today! Although we’re outside as much as we can, it makes it much more appealing ☀️ I went to check out our mud kitchen…. That needs a lot of work! #mud #kitchen #outside #play #outsideplay

In today’s assembly we read ‘Ravis Roar’ and discussed feeling angry / strategies to help when we do. The children agreed talking about it is the best option. If ever you fancy joining us to discuss your truly wonderful stories we’d be happy to have you @TomPercivalsays 💚#teach

We used @Place2Be and @YoungMindsUK links in our newsletter at the end of the half term, to direct parents and carers somewhere if they feel like their children are struggling with mental health and wellbeing 💚 #childrensmentalhealth #wellbeing #school #teacher

Was able to create a #wellbeing wall, and during #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek too - very appropriate! Can’t miss it with that bright border. The paper chain was made by Y1, it’s all their likes, and represents their class being linked together 💚 #connection #primary #school

Pastoral staff feel teachers don’t always understand the challenges of their roles, while teachers feel pastoral teams aren’t always as supportive as they could be. @ProudlyPastoral shares ideas to resolve this tension tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

After the assembly today, this popped out! Always lend a listening ear 💚 #wellbeing
We really mean this. Don’t ever feel you have to struggle in silence. There are always people and organisations who want to help you.

Today I delivered an assembly to all of our children. It was a small talk about mental health, with the importance of talking to people about our feelings. At the end we listened to “Ruby’s worry” which summed it up nicely 💚 @TomPercivalsays #mentalhealth #wellbeing #talk #worry
