This resource is part of our Mission Launchpad Programme resources for supporting emotional literacy and emotional regulation in busy classrooms (& homes).

Just like real astronaut crews, children design their own mission patch to show who they are, what they care about and what makes them unique.

Creating a personal symbol of identity strengthens self-concept and belonging, which makes it a lovely activity for the start of the year, for transitions, or alongside My Crew ID.

Mission Control: self-esteem, growth mindset and agency-based resources for primary classrooms.

Every mission needs someone at the controls, and in Mission Launchpad, that’s the child. Mission Control is our self-esteem and identity pack for primary schools. It helps children recognise their strengths, celebrate what makes them unique and know that they matter, always.

Inside Mission Control you’ll find Crew Commendation cards for spotting strengths, a Crew ID badge children design themselves, the Confidence Crew trusted adults activity, a Still Training growth mindset dial and ready-to-teach slides. It also slots straight into your PSHE and emotional literacy curriculum, so every child can say with confidence: “Mission Control, I lead my own mission.”
