Children’s Mental Health Week 2025: A Week of Reflection, Creativity & Positivity 💙

This week, our school embraced Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 with a range of thoughtful and creative activities, all designed to encourage emotional well-being, kindness, and self-expression. It has been truly heart-warming to see our children supporting one another and embracing the importance of looking after their mental health.

Calm Jars & Wellbeing Journals

One of the highlights of the week was creating calm jars—a soothing and mindful activity that encouraged the children to take ownership of their emotions. They carefully chose coloured liquids and glitter, making each jar unique to them.

Alongside this, children completed their own wellbeing journals, where they took time to reflect on their feelings, express gratitude, and share kind compliments with their peers. "It was lovely to see the children not only thinking about their own emotions but also lifting each other up with their thoughtful words," said Mr Myers, Assistant Headteacher for Pastoral Care.

Storytime & Sharing Worries

As part of our focus on emotional well-being, we listened to 'Ruby’s Worry' by Tom Percival—a beautifully illustrated book that highlights the importance of talking about our worries so they don’t grow bigger. The story sparked meaningful discussions, helping children understand that sharing their feelings can make all the difference.

Feel-Good Friday: A Celebration of Happiness!

To end the week on a joyful note, we wore something that made us happy, filling the school with bright colours, fun outfits, and lots of smiles! Miss Pearce shared, "It was wonderful to see the children proudly expressing themselves through their clothing—it really brought a sense of positivity and unity to the school."

This week has been a truly special journey of self-expression, kindness, and well-being, reminding us all of the importance of talking about our feelings and supporting one another. A huge thank you to our staff, parents, and children for making this week so meaningful. Let’s continue to prioritise mental well-being every day! 💛✨
