Year 5 and Year 6 are taking part in a six-week project with the West Ham Foundation around the topic of Mental Health. The children have the opportunity to explore themes and develop a variety of skills. This includes understanding ‘What is Mental Health?’ and ‘How might it affect us?. The pupils will get to explore ‘Confidence, Self belief, Anxiety, Stress, Emotions’ as well as develop coping mechanisms. Understanding where they can access help & support is extremely important therefore the core theme running through this project is ‘talking/opening up to people’.
