Year 2 have been completing one of the activities from Children’s Mental Health Week and explored the theme “This is My Place.”

We learned that belonging means feeling safe, happy and valued, and having places and people that make us feel like we belong.
We created our own special maps to show all the places where we feel we belong. Some of us drew our homes, our families and our friends. Others included school, clubs, nature and even imaginary places!

We used bright colours, symbols and pictures to show the things that make us feel comfortable and confident being ourselves.

This activity helped us understand that everyone’s “place” is different, and that we can help others feel welcome too.
