Celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week In P5: “It’s Good to Be Me!”

5th Feb 2026
Today, we continued our celebrations of a Children’s Mental Health Week with a special activity all about self-belief and positivity. Our theme focused on the important message: “It’s good to be you!”
The children were encouraged to think about what makes them unique and wonderful. Each child wrote down three reasons why “it’s good to be me”, reflecting on their strengths, qualities, and the things they’re proud of.  Then they shared their ideas with their friends before placing their messages into a special positivity jar. This jar will stay in the classroom throughout the year, ready to revisit whenever someone needs a reminder of how amazing they are - and again at the end of June when we look back at our growth.
