Following National Children Mental Health week last week on the theme of ‘find your BRAVE’ children in Opal class have been discussing and sharing with each other what being BRAVE means and in terms of mental health. We followed this up by watching the film ‘Inside out’ with other year groups. This allowed children to discuss openly how different feelings and emotions might present themselves and how this might make them feel or act.
The key message coming out from our discussions was to not to bottle things up but to find someone they felt comfortable with and to share their worries. Opal class will continue building on this in further weeks to come as part of our PSHE lessons.
