Wellbeing at Broadmeadow
Children’s mental health week is 9th-15th February this year, and the theme is ‘This is my place’.
All this term we will be focusing on kindness, as part of this work children will be involved in making our ‘Tree of Kindness.’
Photographs and other examples of the children being kind in everyday situations will feature. The tree will ‘grow’ as the examples of kindness increases – demonstrating visually that their acts of kindness is added to the tree every day.
The children will celebrate their acts of kindness with a dance party on Friday13th February. Lets get our dancing shoes on!!
