We are really looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 6th March, but we don't just want to keep our celebration to one day. We will be taking part in book related activities all week (w/b 3rd March). Please find attached the letter with all of the arrangements for the week along with a fundraising event run by the Friends of Henbury.
From 3-9 February 2025 it is Children's Mental Health Week. The theme this year is 'know yourself, grow yourself'. This theme is about empowering young people to embrace self awareness and explore what it means to them so they can build resilience, grow and develop.
We are already gearing up for Christmas here at Henbury. Please see the posters below for Christmas events organised by the Friends of Henbury. We hope to see you at these events soon!
The Mental Health Support Team in schools have rescheduled their Supporter’s Forum to Tuesday 19th November 2024 at 6pm and would like to invite any parent/carers/supporters of children and young people in your school to join us online. They would love to hear their voices about what you would like from the service, and for your voices to be a part of shaping the service moving forwards.
It is World Mental Health Day on October 10th, 2024.
This year the theme is 'It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.'
To recognise this in school, we will be reminding the children of the strategies that they can use to keep themselves calm and in the best place for learning. These include the techniques listed on our school wellbeing hub.
As a reminder each child will be given a green wristband, which represents the Federation of World Mental Health. Please ask them about it and see what they can share with you.
