Stranton's Wellbeing Warriors are a group of children who all believe that the wellbeing of everyone in the school is fundamental to their happiness and good mental health. They meet on a regular basis to ensure that any concerns are highlighted as well as to discuss how they are going to promote the 5 Ways to Wellbeing which cover the following themes:

• Be Active - Do what you can, enjoy what you do, move your mood. 
• Take Notice - Remember the simple things that give you joy. 
• Keep Learning - Embrace new experiences, seek opportunities, surprise yourself. 
• Give - Your time, your words, your presence.

Our Wellbeing Warriors have a special duty to fulfil within school. At break and lunch times, they ensure they are present and visible to all on the yard, this enables children to actively seek them out if they need to talk to them or simply want some quiet time.

The Wellbeing Warriors aim to:

• Change the way we all think and act about how we feel - this is our mental health.
• Understand and accept that we ALL have different feelings and it is okay to not be okay!
• support others make good choices  but won't be able to solve every problem. 
• Listen to others so that they can talk about how they are feeling.
• Be non-judgemental

• Friendly
• Resilient

• Responsible

💛 Hello Yellow Day – World Mental Health Day! 💛

This month we celebrated World Mental Health Day by taking part in #HelloYellow and raising awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health and wellbeing. 🌈💛

Our school was filled with a sea of yellow as children and staff wore something yellow to show their support and spread a little sunshine! ☀️

Throughout the day, we reminded our children that mental health matters just as much as physical health and that it's okay to have difficult days, talk about our feelings and ask for help when we need it. 💬❤️

At Stranton, we are committed to creating a caring, supportive environment where every child feels safe, valued, listened to and supported.

💛 A little kindness can make a BIG difference! 💛
