Brook Acre Community Primary School

Children throughout school use happy breathing as a technique to regulate their brains following periods of high energy or high emotions. We find the children enjoy happy breathing following break times to get them ready for their next lesson. 

We are proud to be a part of the myHappymind Family! As a whole school programme grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. myHappymind also teaches the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!

At Brook Acre, we encourage children  to use the zones of regulation to show or explain how they are feeling. 

myHappymind is a mental health and well-being programme to support children in learning habits to support their own mental health. It does also cover all the mandatory objectives from the DfE Relationships Education Curriculum and also around 70% of the PSHE objectives.
