Are you worried about something?
If you are worried, it is always good to talk to someone you trust, whether that is at home or at school. It's important to share what's troubling you.
You can always talk to the adults in school, or contact your teachers via Google Classroom or email. Click here to find out the email addresses of your teachers.
If you're in KS1, you can tell the Worry Monster in your class your worries. If you're in KS2, you can use 'I wish my teacher knew' Google Form.
How to ask for help:
There are lots of ways to ask an adult to help you. Here are some ideas:
"Nan, I'm feeling scared. Can I talk to you?..."
"Ms Smith, can I talk to you? I'm worried about something..."
"Dad, something happened when I was gaming. Can you help me?..."
Tell them about how you are feeling and explain what has happened. The adult should listen and help you.
