World Mental Health Day P6SM

9th Oct 2020

As you will be aware, it is World Mental Health Day and we in Ballykeel have been making sure we take time to talk about Mental Health with the children. In P6SM we have been learning a lot about 'Take 5' - and I have been encouraging the children to share these ideas at home. We are all so good at looking after our physical health and now we are incorporating ways to help our mental health into our daily routine. Your child may have mentioned their gratitude journal which we fill in each day writing about something we are thankful for. We have also tried out meditation, chair yoga, mindfulness colouring and walks in the fresh air, as well as sharing compliments with each other. Not forgetting our physical health, the class have also had their first session with Coaching 4 Christ. Many of these ideas will be carried on throughout the year, I'm sure you will hear all about it!
