Gratitude Week is an annual school celebration, a week of activities that encourage our students to be mindful and show gratitude. Students participate in meditation, yoga, song writing, journal writing, rock painting, music therapy and more. A short video was put together to highlight the importance of gratitude in our daily lives. Please enjoy....Link: http://bit.ly/2yNQIhH
Building on from the success of this event, students will be participating in a mindfulness program this term, on a weekly basis. The students are learning about their brains in class and feelings and emotions in peer support. What is mindfulness? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness as “Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” In other words, mindfulness is being present in the moment as it happens without judgement. We would like you to join in the mindfulness journey with us, and we would like to share what your children are learning at school so that you can continue the conversations at home. Each newsletter we will highlight some talking points for at home and some resources to look at.
