My Happy Mind in Reception, by Mrs Bailey

Congratulations to everyone in our Reception class today as they received their first My Happy Mind certificate for completing the first module where we learnt all about the brain.

We learnt that we all have different character strengths and this is something to celebrate. This makes us all unique and special.
We have a new tool of the week in our Zones of Regulation and have been practising the strategy of smiling at other people to help us and others.
