To help regulate a pupil we went on a nature walk to help reset & regulate. Back in class, they used the leaves in a craft activity to show their feelings. This nurturing approach supported their emotional needs & their right to express themselves #NurtureThroughNature

A pupil wanted to try knitting, so we learned together. The gentle rhythm & chat helped them find calm & focus again. Each stitch built confidence, care, & quiet joy — a nurturing rhythm, a new skill, & wellbeing working side by side. #MindfulMoments #Article31 #NurturingPractice #LearningTogether

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
Sometimes it’s hard to talk—especially with family or friends. That’s ok. Reaching outside your circle can make all the difference.
You’re not alone. #WMHD #MentalHealthMatters

Lately, we’ve been talking to pupils about journaling—a simple but powerful self-care tool to feel more in control when life gets overwhelming. Writing thoughts down eases the mental load, calms the mind & creates breathing space. A small habit, big impact. Why not try it? 📝 #Journaling #SelfCare

Tough day? Be kind to yourself. Take a moment to breathe and know it’s okay. Change your scenery if you can, or find a quiet moment. Today will end, and you’re doing your best. Remember, you’re not alone. Saying “today was hard” is a start. 💙 #OneDayAtATime #KeepGoing #HardDaysHappen

This morning in The Haven, nurture led the way. A dysregulated pupil talked about the flowers. A passing by colleague stopped & gave an impromptu lesson on pollination.
The pupil’s mood shifted. A quiet, powerful moment of connection unfolded 🌸
