Pupils go back to nature
Year 5 pupils from Murrayfield Primary had the chance to go back to nature to try den building and tool making. They made swings, learned to tie knots and told stories around the campfire. The pupils are growing in confidence and learning new skills.
Young people and mental health
Year 9 students at Ipswich Academy took part in an interactive mental health production today called, ‘In Harms Way’.
Students gained an insight into the different ways mental health can affect young people and how to gain help and support.
