PUPILS at St Kieran's Primary School took part in a week of activities to mark Children's Mental Health Week. 

Activities included meditation, yoga, music time, circle time, positive affirmations and self-care. Classes also enjoyed a nurture breakfast with their class. Pupils also had a visit from Christina, an art therapist.
