Flying Start @ Camborne Celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week

The whole nursery @ Flying Start Camborne have been celebrating Children’s Mental Health week and been carrying out lots of learning on naming their emotions, techniques on helping us calm down and even slow down and relax.

These activities included the babies going on a well-being walk to the local park. They sang some songs and lay on their backs, looking at the sky and naming what we can hear and see. Pre-School also got outside for their Healthy Movers and practiced carrying out some mindful moments.

We also enjoyed turning one of our rooms into the ‘Flying Start Spa’. The room was really calm, and the children had the opportunity to soak their feet in some lavender water and really describe what they were feeling, some children even enjoyed placing cucumber on their eyes (or eating it). Enjoying shadows on the wall and listening to sea sounds and even participated in some yoga. This was then followed by a wonderful afternoon tea.

Maybe your child could teach you a mindful moment or yoga move!
