As part of Children’s Mental Health Week — and with Valentine’s Day in mind — our Year 1/2 children took time to reflect on what makes them special. They created thoughtful lists of all the reasons they love themselves.

From talents in sports and performing, to wonderful traits such as kindness, bravery, and helpfulness, the children were able to recognise and celebrate the many qualities that make them unique.

It was a lovely activity that encouraged confidence, positivity, and self‑belief — a perfect reminder that showing love to ourselves is just as important as showing love to others.
