Class 6 – Mental Health Awareness Week

Developing positive mental health for staff and students is fundamental to the work we do here at Cookridge Primary. As part of our continous efforts to promote this, we have jumped onboard with Mental Health Awareness Week’s theme of ‘Nature’ this year. To help us feel calm and relaxed, we took part in some animal yoga. Next, and in keeping with the theme of connecting with nature, pupils had the opportunity to play with mud. They made mud faces on trees, sculptures, patterns and pictures. Also, pupils took part in ‘grounding’ activities. This is where pupils could walk barefoot on the grass, pretend to be a tree growing from a seed and pushing their roots in the earth before shooting upwards and meditate.
