Pupils at Atherton St George’s CE Primary School have shared some wonderful feedback after completing the six-week Hummingbird Project.
Delivered by MedEquip4Kids, the Hummingbird Project is a six-week Positive Psychology course for schools, helping children learn simple ways to support their mental health and wellbeing. Through creative activities, discussion and reflection, pupils explore topics such as gratitude, kindness, character strengths, resilience, mindfulness and hope for the future.
The programme at Atherton St George’s was delivered by our fantastic sessional facilitator Lucy Platt. At the end of the course, pupils created these beautiful posters to share what they had enjoyed and what they had learned.
Their comments say so much about the impact of the project. One pupil said: “My favourite was when we did the Hula Hoop Challenge, best thing I have done in school and makes me want to come to school more.”
Others told us:
“Hummingbird helped me a lot with being calm.”
“You will feel calm and happier.”
“You will love to do this and it will keep you calm.”
“It helps you develop mind skills and figure out plans for the future.”
“You get to say what you are thankful for.”
“I liked going to my happy place.”
The pupils’ feedback highlights how the Hummingbird Project gives children space to reflect, express themselves, recognise their strengths and learn positive ways to manage their emotions.
A huge thank you to Atherton St George’s CE Primary School for welcoming the Hummingbird Project, and to the pupils for such thoughtful and colourful feedback.
