Most of us love mindfulness in Room 19. Some of us aren't so keen on it, but we know it has many benefits and we work to be respectful of our classmates who really enjoy it. Our Wednesday mindfulness activity was a little bit different to what we've done so far this term. We've had a big focus on tummy breathing this term (ask us to show you how to blow up your tummy balloon and do some nice, deep, relaxing tummy breathing), so we started off with that to get us calmed down after lunch. While our eyes were closed, Mrs T walked around the room and dropped an object into each of our hands. We had to keep our eyes closed and we weren't allowed to peek at what it was. We very quickly figured out that we had shells in our hands. We took the time to feel them; noticing where the smooth parts were, where it felt rough or bumpy. We noticed if there were any sharp or pointy edges. After a while we began to feel ridges, and small holes or dents. We noticed the shape. We smelled our shells (they didn't smell too great to be honest!). We gently rubbed them on our cheeks, around our foreheads, and on our arms. Still keeping our eyes shut, we swapped shells with those at our table and mindfully explored our new shells. At the end of the activity we closed our eyes again and used our senses to find our original shell. We were surprised by how many little details we had noticed about our shells, without even looking at them! Do you like mindfulness? You might have some new ideas for us to try in Room 19 - tell us in the comments!
