~ Children's Mental Health Week ~

It's children's Mental Health week this week. Mental health is all about our feelings. We will learn about how some feelings make us feel good, and some can make us feel bad - and how important it is to look after our mental health.

This year's theme is 'Express Yourself'. What does this mean?!

Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share your feelings, thoughts and ideas through creativity. This could be through drawing and painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, dancing or a sport like football! It's all about finding something that makes you feel good :)

What do you to express yourself?

To mark this special week, we would like to launch our VPS Gruffalo Art Challenge!
We invite all children and families to take part together on Monday afternoon. We have enlisted the help of a professional artist, Beth, from ArtBase,who will give you step by step instructions in a pre-recorded video to draw ‘The Gruffalo’. After you draw the Gruffalo you have the freedom to colour him in or decorate the background with a range of art materials if you wish. Here are some of the teacher's efforts over the weekend! (Parents welcome to join too!)
