On the 9th October we celebrated World Mental Health Day.
This is an important day to raise awareness of mental health and to encourage children and adults to talk about how they’re feeling.
This year we took part in the #HelloYellow challenge for Young Minds. Young Minds is a charity that works with children who are struggling with their mental health.
To mark this day, our Mental Health Ambassadors asked us all to take part in Hemyock’s Happy Half Hour. For 30 minutes (or more) each class chose a fun activity to do together. We made lots of memories.
By wearing non-school uniform and donating we raised a total of…

Another busy activity filled day. The children have enjoyed their last full day in the sun and also the rain! Last night they enjoyed a quiz and tonight the children have enjoyed a roast dinner. They have had such a great week looking out for each, helping around the centre and encouraging new and old friends. We are so very proud of each of our Year 6 pupils. They are looking forward to telling you all about it but not so excited about packing!!!

Our Year 6 children have exceeded our expectations as always. They have been enjoying activities to the full. Their enthusiasm and perseverance are recognised by all, alongside their clear support of each other. Many children have achieved something new which is fab! Today saw many children learning new skills such as caving, canoeing and climbing to name a few. They will have many achievements to share with you upon return that’s for sure!
8.10.19 – AM
A very peaceful night and hearty breakfast and the first full day begins. As new adventures rise our Hemyock children are very excited and they are full of energy (not so sure about the teachers though!). Pioneering taught us how to make swings from rope and logs as well as almost making a bridge. Now for lunch before more activities tonight!

Year 6 arrived safely and got straight in to having fun coasteering, this is an activity of exploring a rocky coastlines by climbing, jumping, and swimming. They will all sleep well tonight!

Well done to our Year 6 pupils who took part in this year’s Exmoor Challenge.
Mrs Lockyer was so impressed with their detemination and all groups came back in good time.
See if you can spot them in the gallery from Devon Live above.
