Shining a light on Children’s Mental Health Week

This year’s theme for Children’s Mental Health Week was ‘Let’s Connect’ and Ludgrove took the opportunity to incorporate the theme through the five Year Groups.

One such exercise was seen in Year 4 when the VIs proudly display their ‘lightbulbs’ incorporating all the lovely adjectives their classmates wrote about them. A great exercise for our youngest boys to feel connected and appreciated in their own unique way.

As the week drew to a close, the boys and staff were asked to write down their encouraging thoughts and fill up the ‘Cup of Kindness’ displayed in the Games Room. One that summed up Ludgrove Life perfectly is “be kind to everyone”. Wise words from young minds.
