In Year 2, we believe that it is important to talk about our mental health all of the time! This year’s theme for Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’ and that was our particular focus. It is so important that we understand ourselves and that we are aware of our likes and dislikes, strengths, fears, hopes and dreams. To help us to build self-awareness, we created some ‘Personality Islands’ and on each island, we wrote about our emotions, things we are good at and what makes us special. We then compared whether any of our islands were similar but agreed that it was fine if not, as that’s what makes each of us special!
We also created our own greenhouses, filled with things which we believe help us to grow.
