What?
Children’s Mental Health Week Take part in ‘Dress to Express‘ to support Place2Be, a charity who raise vital funds to help more children and young people get the emotional support they need.
When?
Thursday 10th February
How?
Donate £2 to Place2Be and come to nursery or school dressed to express yourself. For example, if you have a bright and bubbly personality you may choose to wear bright and whacky clothing. Remember, they don’t have to match…!
Please no PJs or football clothing.
Why?
Place2Be believe every child should have easy access to mental health support whenever they need it. They create safe spaces in schools where students can open up without pressure, arming them with emotional skills to help deal with everything life throws at them. As a charity, Place2Be rely heavily on the generosity and support of the community to continue their essential work in the future and to reach children before it’s too late.

Internet Safety Day
The theme this year is
‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’
We want to give children at Gargieston the skills to support one another, and the strategies to spot and speak out against harmful and misleading content online.
Through Safer Internet Day 2022 we will look at why inaccurate content exists, where it comes from, and what children can do to ensure they are safe.
From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of. Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.
If you would like to build on this at home with your children, click on the link below to see how Oscar keeps himself safe whilst he is online.

Please note that we have a section on our blog called ‘Internet Safety and Cyber Resilience’ where parents/carers can find information about how to support their children. This can be found under the ‘Parents’ tab.
