In February the children across the Three Schools took part in Children's Mental Health Week. The theme this year was ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’, with the aim to equip and empower children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

EYFS pupils at Drayton Parslow focused on 'what makes us happy'. They met Gerald the Giraffe who had a dilemma he wanted the children to advise him on, they enjoyed stories and discussed what makes US happy and that it’s ok for that to be different to other people - uniqueness makes the world an interesting place!

Meanwhile the children in Y1 at Mursley enjoyed a variety of activities during Children’s Mental Health week including ‘Motions for Emotions’, painting Emotions pictures and created some wonderful ‘Emotions hands’.

Lots of interesting conversations and vibrant activities took place across the schools to celebrate this important initiative.
