As part of Creativity Week, Crayola’s daily challenges introduce children to a range of books and self-awareness activities to support mental health and well-being.

At Chetwynd, we believe that being creative and imaginative boosts confidence and gives children the opportunity to express themselves. We hope to empower children to think critically and engage more deeply in the world around them.

Across the school, children participated in a range of activities based on the following themes;

• Life lessons
• Change and Collaboration
• Abstract Thinking
• Confidence Soars
• Flows like Water

Find out what children got up to below.

Pupil Voice

“I’ve learnt about how emotions can cause your early warning signs.”

---- Aryan

“I’ve learnt that you can feel all different emotions and every person feels them differently.”

--- Sebastian

“You can speak to a trusted adult about all of the emotions and how you’re feeling. There are ways to control your emotions so that your reactions don’t get out of hand.”

---- Finlay

“Mental health is where you look after your mind.”

---- Daisy

“You can cheer yourself up by playing with your friends or doing something you really enjoy. It’s okay to feel sad or angry but don’t let yourself be angry all of the time because you might feel stressed and you might do things you’re not supposed to do.”

---- Scarlett

“A personality is what makes you yourself like when people have a kind and caring personality.”

---- Nellie
