Mental Health Awareness Week

We have had a lovely week celebrating Mental Health Awareness week across both St. George’s Junior and Woodfield Infants, and including the Empower nursery. Children have taken part in various activities to promote positive mental health such as yoga, mindfulness and chatting with others to share worries.

All week we have been taking part in our “chatty runs” on the SGJ Daily Mile track, whereby the Infants and Junior classes buddied up to have a chat, a run together, or both. The Year 6 classes went over to visit the Reception classes and really enjoyed sharing stories and mindful colouring together and Stiperstones class popped into the new Empower Nursery today to share some of our fabulous picture books with the pre-schoolers and get to know them a bit better.

Year 3 and 4 children were able to join ‘mindfulness club’ in Wenlock class during lunchtimes for yoga, colouring and chilling out.

We have ended the week with our Dress to Express day and afternoon field disco, where we were pleased to be able to host some of the WFI classes too.

The St. George’s Children children have really enjoyed sharing these experiences with our wider school community. Here are some of the photos from this week:
