Laughter is the best medicine - World Mental Health Day is approaching!


On Friday some children from the Manor Way Wellbeing Team met with Mrs Seaton to get ready for World Mental Health Day on Thursday 10th October.

They talked about why yellow is such a positive colour and why it makes people feel good, and then practised some of the activities that will be occurring throughout the day to promote Positive Mental Wellbeing.

We told jokes and and had some laughter therapy; there were some classics, some silly and some downright wacky jokes but they had us all in stitches! Mrs Seaton even cackled like at witch at some!


Then we planned out some positive quotes and phrases that we can use to decorate the playground with on Thursday suich as:

You are amazing, just the way you are.

Never give up hope.

When people try to bring you down, just keeping going up!

Don't worry, be happy!

Be yourself!

You are enough.

Follow your heart!

If you are ever feeling down, find someone to talk to, don't hold it in - in fact, talk to your Wellbeing Team class rep - they will always try to make you feel better!
