Supporting Mental Health and Well being3 February 2021 (by headmarton) |
8th - 12th February
A special week!
As most of you will know, much attention is now on supporting mental health and well-being which is something at Marton we really want to encourage. We want our children to feel safe and mentally well; with skills that will equip them for the future and as a result we are dedicating next week to supporting you all. You have all been doing a super job at home and we know how tough this has been; we want next week therefore to be fun!
Children’s Mental Health week ran from 1st – 7th Feb but we wanted to dedicate a special week for this to support families as we approach Half Term.
From next week, each day will have a special theme to provide you with a chance to have some fun and enjoy various family activities together. These are suggestions and if we were at school we would call this a ‘Theme week’ with special planned activities throughout the school day.
Children will not be set class work although you do all have access to work packs if you would prefer to continue with this. Class teachers will load up suggested activities for the week and we would love to see examples of any activities you do, in pictures, photos etc.
We want to look back at this time and remember all the positive things we did in 2021.
We are hoping the week runs like this:
- Mindful Monday
- Tasty Tuesday
- Wellbeing Wednesday
- Thoughtful Thursday
- Fun Friday
There are many great resources online to help if you would like to look into these:
