Mindfulness



Self Compassion

This week our Mindfulness sessions have been focusing on self-compassion.  We have been learning to identify our thoughts and focus and keep the positive ones and push the negative ones away.
We did quite a personal and difficult activity where we had to acknowledge some of the negative thoughts we might have about ourselves.  We also highlighted and identified some of the positive thoughts we have.
In our creative activity, we had to show our negative thoughts being destroyed and our positive thoughts being larger and held on to.
Here is an example of Miss Waho's.

Mat Manners

Mat Manners~Our School Expectations

This week we are looking at our mat manners expectations.  We have thought about what we sometimes do that needs to change and set goals to work towards so we see a class-wide improvement.  
This is the example of the activity we did.



Our focus now is to make sure we actually show these changes.
