Some fantastic work was produced by our talented children that we could not see go to waste. It is proudly on show in the junior corridor for all to see.
Children’s Mental Health Week Year’s 4 and 5
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week (7th-13th February), Children from Years 4 and 5 took part in some activities linked to the Mental Health Week theme of ‘Growing Together’.
Firstly we enjoyed watching a virtual assembly which introduced ‘support balloons’ and ‘reaching for the stars’.
The children then designed their own ‘support balloons’ by considering the people in their lives that help them to grow. We discussed the importance of recognising the people we can turn to when we need ‘lifting up.’
They also created their star which set a goal they wanted to reach. They listened to S Club 7’s ‘Reach for the Stars’ for inspiration! The children set an emotional goal they would like to achieve or overcome then they thought about the ‘steps’ they would take to reach their goal. They wrote their ‘steps to success’ on the rungs of a ladder.
The children’s completed work will be used to create a bright, colourful display in school.

Mental Health Parent and Carer Peer Support Groups – July
Mental Health Parent/Carer Support Group
The sessions are aimed at those parents/carers of children and young people who have experienced difficulties with their mental/emotional health and who may have accessed services either now, or in the past. The last few sessions have been successful and have since been adapted and added a few formal sessions giving parents/carers a chance to meet and develop their understanding on some of the services South Tyneside has to offer.
