Children’s Mental Health Week 4th-7th February 2025
As part of the Amber Flag initiative St. Mary’s N.S. celebrated Children’s Mental Health Week from the 4th-7th February. The Amber Flag committee organised a fun-filled week for the students.
On Tuesday we celebrated Terrific Tuesday. The children drew their self-portrait and wrote a positive affirmation about themselves.
On Wednesday we celebrated Wellbeing Wednesday. All classes buddied up with another class and participated in fun activities together, such as buddy reading, games and art activities.
On Thursday we celebrated Thankful Thursday. The children wrote something that they are thankful for on a leaf and stuck it on the ‘Gratitude Tree’.
On Friday we celebrated Funky Friday. The children dressed up in their funkiest clothes. It was so much fun. They also participated in a poster competition ‘Kindness/Friendship’.
There were three categories for the poster competition:
Junior Infants-1st Class
2nd Class-4th Class
5th-6th Class
