‘Let’s Connect’ is about making connections with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways.  This can be online, in a team or choir or shared dance, in the community, through acts of kindness, etc. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our well-being. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends, and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of well-being. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health. In the week commencing 6th February, we will be exploring these ideas with the children and the whole school community.

As well as supporting Mental Health Week, we have created our very own virtual classroom full of resources, support for parents and children, helpful hints and games.
