Mental Health awareness week
Date: 18th May 2020 @ 10:54am
This week we are celebrating mental health awareness week. I know that things may be a little different at the moment and some of you may be finding the change a little difficult and thats ok! I have some down days too! I thought I would share some ideas with you to help think about our mental health. This year the theme is kindness.
- First of all, I would like you to read the book attached ‘What's going on inside my head?’. You don't have to read it all at once. You could read a page per day this week. I loved reading it this morning as it made me realise we are all unique in our own way :).
- Think of the things that make you feel happy or calm. I know that having a bubble bath makes me feel relaxed. I would like you to write 5 things down that make you feel happy. Can you create a poster to put up in your household with things that make you feel happy? That way if someone is feeling down, they can always look at it for ideas to cheer them up.
- Can you write down 5 kind words to describe somebody in your household?
- Can you do something helpful for somebody in your house? You could clean your bedroom or make them their favourite breakfast. Don’t forget you must always ask an adult for their permission to you use the kitchen.
- Can you complete 30 minutes of cosmic kids yoga to make you feel relaxed?
I would love to see what you get up to this week during mental health awareness week. If you have any other ideas, I would love to share them with the rest of the class :)
