Hi Everyone,
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and the national theme for this year is Express Yourself.
It is all about being creative and exploring and embracing your personality, individuality and what makes you you!
A really common way people show their personality and express themselves is through their choice of clothing. So today we’d like you to be creative with your outfit choice and choose something that expresses who you are and how you feel. Sometimes our choice of clothes makes us feel quite different. It can make us feel cosy and warm, bright and colourful and happy, energetic and ready for action. We’d love to see photos of your chosen outfits.
There are so many opportunities to express yourself through the Arts, so with that in mind today we are taking a break away from our usual timetable and we are going to post activities so that you can have a wonderful day being creative and finding out about or working on subjects that you really love and enjoy.
We are NOT suggesting that you work through every activity, but instead you choose subjects that interest you. There will be a selection of video masterclasses or ideas from wonderfully talented people in these areas, who will hopefully inspire you to be creative and have a go either at versions of their work or at creating your own masterpieces.
We hope you have a fun day and that you can revisit these materials to explore throughout lockdown, you never know some of you may discover a new talent or passion.
The aim of the day is to focus on your mental health and wellbeing. Have a day doing the things you love with the people you love.
Have fun everyone and take care x
Please be aware, I have found all of the pages below and they are aimed at primary aged children, however I have not been able to watch every video on every link and some may take you to further external sites, so please monitor your child.
You could start the day with a Virtual Assembly hosted by Blue Peter’s Lindsey Russell, and CBBC Presenter and Place2Be Champion Rhys Stephenson,
