Today is World Mental Health Day and here in Pontlliw, we have all been celebrating the day by taking part in some activities, organised by our Healthy Hero Pupil Voice group. All classes created a Mental Health pledge, where they decided on an act of kindness that they would like to perform today – we had some lovely ideas such as giving our friends a hug, sharing our toys and paying each other a compliment! Each class also took time in the day for a mindfulness session, where they spent time focusing on breathing techniques and enjoying a moment of stillness and reflection.

A big thank you to our Healthy Heroes who have been busy making Green Awareness Ribbons for all members of staff to wear today in support of good mental health for all. They also made some fantastic posters, which are now proudly displayed in all classes – diolch yn fawr!
