As part of our Life to the Full lessons, Year 6 were very lucky to have some visitors from Compass Mental Health Team who delivered a workshop on anxiety and the feelings we experience when we are anxious.
We talked about the ‘fight, flight and freeze’ response and how different people react in different ways to situations. We were also shown some coping strategies we can use when feeling anxious and talked about strategies we use ourselves.
“I enjoyed making the chatterboxes and writing down positive thoughts” – M, Year 6
“It was good to know that it’s ok to be worried about things from time to time and it was good to talk about strategies that can help.” – D, Year 6
