It's the final day of Children's Mental Health week.
Today's activity is:
Dress to Impress! Our lives are full of colour and we can use colour to help make sense of how we’re feeling, who we are and the world we live in. You could wear your favourite colour or choose a range of colours that express how you’re feeling. Colour can be very personal and mean different things to different people, so this is a great opportunity to encourage self-expression and celebrate a diverse range of emotions. If you are in school, you can come wearing clothes to impress (if this is a PE day for you, wear your most impressive PE gear!) If you are at home, dress to impress. We would like to dress to impress to raise money for a children’s mental health charity so you can bring £1 into school or ask an adult to donate via Children's Mental Health Week 2021 - JustGiving
