This week year six began their mindfulness training. Throughout the session, they learned a couple of techniques that could help them remain more focused and engaged in class. Completing the ‘puppy training’ stage was their first task. This activity taught them how to focus on the present moment, improve their self-awareness and teach them certain breathing techniques that could help them regulate their anxieties.
“I enjoy these sessions because they are unlike everything else we do in school. In English we are reading or writing and in maths you have to be sharp. During break you are running around but when we are in the mindfulness lessons, we are relaxing and learning how to remain calm.” Kimoni Y6.
