Children's Mental Health Week Dance
Children's Mental Health Week 2023 took place from the 6th to the 12th of February. This year's theme is Let's Connect.
Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing, and our survival. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends, and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.
Let's Connect is about making meaningful connections for all, during Children's Mental Health Week - and beyond.
For Children’s Mental Health Week 2023, we’re encouraging people to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.
At HIBP we decided to connect through the medium of dance. The whole school performed a mass dance on the Year 5/6 playground on Thursday 9th February at 10:45am. Children, teachers, TA’s, office staff and trainee teachers all joined in. Huge well done everyone, you were spectacular! It was so joyous to see the whole school join together and dance.
Enjoy your half term, keep dancing and connecting!
