Children’s Mental Health in reception

For Children’s Mental Health week, the children in reception read the story by “Patrice Karst“. Reception had a class discussion on people, animals and things they love. We discussed how the “invisible string” works and how we can still love people/animals/things and they can still love us back even though they might not be with us. For example, “you are at school and mummy is at work but, mummy still loves you and you still love her, even though you are not together because the invisible string connects you”  The children then drew a picture of themselves and drew lines to things they love.
