STORMBREAK AT TPS
We have recently launched Stormbreak at Twynham Primary School.
Stormbreak is a charity (registered in England and Wales) that supports young children’s mental health through movement, equipping them with sustainable skills and coping strategies to thrive during the complex demands of growth into adult life.
Each Stormbreak lasts between 5 to 15 minutes and involves movement and associated conversation and discussion around mental health. At school, we use a mixture of pre-recorded videos and stormbreaks which are delivered by our school staff.
Stormbreak is something that can also be completed at home, as a family, and this PDF contains all the information you should need. It is easy to set up your own parent account, and this video explains how to do it.
