Mental Health and Wellbeing
This year we are focussing on keeping ourselves mentally healthy using the SMILERS ways to wellbeing! During the autumn term, we will be learning more about what each letter stands for at school. Here are some ideas of ways to practice each way to wellbeing at home.
Week 1 is STAY CONNECTED
Having healthy relationships with people and pets helps us stay happy and mentally strong. We need connections in all parts of our lives - school, family and socially. Connection leads to trust and feelings of safety which, in turn, mean a child feels comfortable talking and sharing. This all leads to better mental health.
Our two class questions are:
Who do you feel connected to?
How do you stay connected to them?
At home you could:
- Arrange a playdate
- Write kind post it notes to family members
- Send a card, letter or drawing
- Keep a list of 'things to tell Grandma'
- Phone a friend or relative to say 'hi'
- Spend time grooming a pet
