Gumboot Friday!

GUMBOOT FRIDAY!

Hello bloggers! On Friday we did fantastic GUMBOOT FRIDAY! Gumboot Friday is about raising Mental Health awareness. If you don’t know what Mental

Health I will tell you what it is. It is about your

brain and how healthy your brain is. It could also be if whether you are positive everyday and you are able to do things. We also did little cards to put inside letter boxes. We did this

because if anyone is struggling we can uplift them again to joyfulness. We wrote positive short quotes and drew a small picture. I wrote on the card Create your own sunshine, whatever you do make sure you’re happy.

I did a blue and red card and wrote small short ones. I also drew a heart at the bottom of the writing and who it was from. We got the idea from the Healthy Puketapapa student questionnaire. 30 students were chosen to do the form. We also got an idea for posting in letter boxes, it  was from a student named Neeve in my class. It was very fun and we went in groups of 8 or 9 and we went on different streets to put in letter box. It can relate to us because of the WELL BEING survey and about our school values like Respect. We have our topic for the whole year which is HAUORA  - WELL BEING. A lady rang up our school office and she received a card. She said that it brightened her sons day. She was almost about to cry because he was struggling with mental health.

You can pass on the card to people that you know that are struggling with mental health.

Make a card if you want to make one for everyone and share the kindness, and help.

Bad thoughts are like you are stuck in the mud, and you need gumboots to get through the mud to happy thoughts.
