Dundee Teacher's Book to Support Children
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that Nicky Murray, head of Claypotts Primary School in Dundee, has written a book to support children's mental health; understands that he was worried about how youngsters have been affected by the lockdown and penned the story to encourage families to talk about their feelings; further understands that the book, The Little Iceberg, sold 1,000 copies in the first six weeks of publication, and has been added to the curriculum of some schools as part of an increased focus on wellbeing, as well as being sold as far afield as Canada and Australia, and thanks Nicky for his hard work on this project.
