Wellbeing
At Nunthorpe Primary we place wellbeing- both mental and physical- at the heart of everything we do for everyone associated with our school.
Top tips to look after your mental health
1. Try to get enough sleep (the key to great mental health)
2. Be active (mens sana in corpore sano– a healthy mind in a healthy body)
3. Eat a balanced diet (you are what you eat)
4. Help other people
5. Connect with other people (in person is better than virtually)
6. Learn something new
7. Do things that you enjoy
8. Do something creative
9. Do things that help you to relax
10. Ask for help if you need it
