This month's theme from Action for Happiness is 'Meaningful May', with a focus on reflecting on what gives our life meaning. Being a part of something bigger than ourselves and focusing on things that we value is key to our wellbeing. So let's take time to reflect on what we care about this month and keep these things at the front of our minds as our societies begin to open up again. 

Mrs Altham is also encouraging students to 'Take Notice', whether that is to take notice of the nature around you, or look up at the sky and remember we are all part of something bigger. Try exploring something or somewhere new this weekend, or enjoy a new experience.
