Hello Yellow mufti day 💛💛💛

The children have taken part in various activities today including colouring and listening to peaceful music, and making vision boards. It has been lovely to see so many children wearing something yellow today, yellow is often associated with positivity, hope, and wellbeing, making it a great way for us to raise awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health and supporting one another.

Mental health is something that affects us all, and this is a wonderful opportunity to start conversations, promote understanding, and remind everyone that it is okay to talk about how they are feeling 💛
