Mental Health Ambassadors

 On Tuesday, the mental health ambassadors, Leah and Will, went to join Health Championships in preparation for children's mental health week. We looked at the 5 ways to well-being which are CONNECT, BE ACTIVE,  TAKE NOTICE, GIVE and KEEP LEARNING. 

They took part in a range of activities such as a yoga session, discussion with a sleep expert and meeting the I-vengers team who focus on internet safety. 

During mental health week, Leah and Will will take a leading role in organising a whole school assembly and a Five ways to well-being workshop.

We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
