Mental Health Awareness week 2021

This week the children took part in activities to discuss their feeling and emotions to link with Mental Health Awareness week. The children thoroughly enjoyed bringing in a special item from home to share during their show and tell circle time and discussed why it is specials to them.

The children enjoyed their focused story sessions around books of feelings including discussions of feeling worried, anxious and sad through the stories Ruby’s Worry by Ravi’s Roar by Tom Percival and how to manage and talk about our feeling and importance to feel safe to express ourselves. The preschool shared a story called The Colour Thief by Gabriel Alborozo which was a child friendly book around talking when not feeling ourselves.
