Welcome to our Well-Being Champions page!

Meet our fabulous Well-Being Champions this year who were elected by their classes to help us improve the well-being of the children and staff at St Paul's.

Here at St Paul's our children's and staff's health and well-being is at the heart of our school life. 

St Paul's Well-Being Champions are children from year 1 to year 6, who help to reinforce and develop aspects of health and well-being. We meet regularly and the children are involved in obtaining the views and ideas of our children and also feeding back to them work we are doing in relation to health and well-being.

The Well-Being Champions help to develop the '5 Ways to Well-Being' in our school. The '5 Ways to Well-Being' are:

Autumn 1 2024

This half term we are focusing on 'Being Active' and the Wellbeing Champions have been encouraging their  classes to have a break and exercise in the playground during the day.

Autumn 2 2024

Following on from 'It's Cool To Be Kind' week (Antibullying Week) which had a theme of 'Choose Respect'  the Wellbeing Champions made posters to put up in school about respecting others, showing kindness and what to do if they see someone being unkind or bullying others. 

Spring 2025

For Children's Mental Health Week we had our own 'Feeling Good Week' carrying out activities with  a focus on recognising emotions. On the Monday, the children came to school dressed as one of the characters from 'Inside Out'. The children also carried out activities each day related to the 5 Ways to Wellbeing such as going for Wonder Walks, doing Zumba or Just Dance routines and playing board games with their friends.

Wellbeing Wednesday Club

Year 1 and Year 2 have had fun on a Wednesday lunchtime with Mrs Wilson carrying out activities linked to the 5 Ways to Wellbeing - Just Dance routines, making friendship bracelets, playing board games with their friends and spending time outside enjoying and drawing nature!

Take Notice

Here’s a lovely activity you could do to help you take notice:

• When you go out for your daily walk spend 5-minutes talking about what you see, hear, smell and feel.
• Imagine you are on a safari, looking for animals that crawl, fly or walk, listening for sounds, and feeling the weather.
• You have to be quiet and alert.
• Turn on your “super-senses”.
• Pay attention to what’s around you: What can you see? What can you smell? What can you hear? How do you feel?
• Your will notice a whole new world, just by paying attention!

Growth Mindset

The Well-Being Champions helped to develop Growth Mindsets and child-friendly tools and  language that we can use in school. All classes have posters in their classes that they refer to on a daily basis - The growth mindset 'steps', The 5 B's, Be Like The Bear Cub and "I can't do it YET!":
