Mental Health Awareness Week in 4A

18th May 2026

During Mental Health Awareness Week, Primary 4A took part in a thoughtful and engaging activity to help us better understand our feelings and how to look after our wellbeing. We talked about what makes us feel calm and happy. Everyone had the chance to think about the people, places, and activities that help them feel relaxed and positive. Learning to recognise these feelings is really important. By identifying what helps us feel calm and happy, we are better prepared to use these strategies when we are feeling upset, worried or dysregulated. It gives us helpful tools to manage our emotions and take care of ourselves.
