The breakfast scheme serves up toast each morning during a ten minute period where the children relax and share how they feel each day.
If children have negative feelings, however small, there is care on hand if they wish to talk it through with an adult so they can start their learning day free of anxiety.
The children said the scheme has had a positive impact on how they feel, with the majority saying they ‘feel happy about having the chance to talk’ and feel safer beause there is an adult who is happy to listen, if they need it.
Take a look at years 4, 5, and 6 who really enjoyed getting their picture taken with their toast for the newspaper.
