Series 3 – Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison

Series Title: Growing Our Emotional Toolkit

In Series 3, children are introduced to practical emotional strategies that can be used independently. This series builds on earlier learning by helping pupils develop a personalised emotional toolkit—full of calming techniques, grounding strategies, and helpful habits. Each episode focuses on a tool or method children can use to support their wellbeing, manage challenges, and respond to strong feelings with confidence.
