We have launched myHappymind to support mental health in our school and to teach children about their brains and the way they learn.

myHappymind. is an NHS backed science-backed programme for schools which is grounded in the latest science and research about what it takes to create positive wellbeing. It’s taught to every single child and there’s a curriculum for every year group from Early Years (at Cobbs Infant School) to Year 6.

H stands for Hippocampus
Hippocampus is like your scrapbook storing all your memories and things you learn.

A stands for Amygdala.
The Amygdala takes control and keeps you safe when there is danger. It helps you deal with situations using fight, flight or freeze.

P stands for Prefrontal Cortex
The Prefrontal Cortex helps you to make choices, concentrate and solve problems.

Can you grow your mind?

‘Yes’. Neuroplasticity is taught in the first myHappymind session. Neuroplasticity is the process of your brain growing when you focus on your mind on something.

The children are excited about myHappymind and are all looking forward to the sessions and learning how the brain functions.

Time to journal

Each child will have their own myHappymind journal in which they can write down their thoughts, worries and feelings.
