Ribbleton Avenue Methodist Junior School

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week, 7th – 13th February, is “Children’s Mental Health Week” and this year’s theme is Growing Together.

“Children’s Mental Health Week” is run by the charity 'Place2be', and focusses on the importance of promoting good mental health and wellbeing for children and young people. This year Growing Together is about growing emotionally and finding ways to help each other grow and reach our full potential. It focusses on how challenges and setbacks can help us to grow and adapt to new things. 

This week in school the children will be taking part in a virtual assembly and carrying out activities in class to support this years theme of Growing Together.

The 'Place2be' website has lots of free resources to help children explore, what it means to grow together, stay happy, healthy and safe. There are also some resources on there for you as parents and carers to help and support your child at home. These articles set out to inform about many topics such as the need for consequences and boundaries and helpful hints about reading with your child. Follow the links below for more details.
