Good afternoon everyone!
What a wonderfully relaxing end to our 6th week in class 4! This week has been 'Children's Mental Health Awareness Week' and just now, considering the continuing epidemic, it remains a the forefront of all our minds. The children were almost asleep by the end of the day yesterday! We had a fabulous session in the forest before lunch. The children thoroughly enjoyed decorating the woodland with lovely bright colours; creating natural wind chimes and adding flashes of colour to branches and trunks. It felt like our magical 'secret garden'!
We continued with our relaxing theme after our maths in the afternoon too! We practised a number of effective relaxing breathing techniques; the children tried them all and found each of them so calming as they focused purely on the different techniques they were learning. We will keep practising those so they become 2nd nature. As I discussed with the children, learning relaxation techniques is invaluable in life for all of us. Miss Hewitt and I thoroughly enjoyed joining in! We tried meditation and yoga once again too. A number of the children have suggested we begin our yoga club at school again. I will certainly speak to Mrs Lindley again as yoga is one of her many skills!
The children have absolutely loved sharing 'The Secret Garden' with us this half term. We finished reading the book this week; the children clapped to express how much they'd enjoyed it as I completed the final page!! They have really loved it! Their writing has been wonderful to see too and the progress they have made is superb. Well done class 4. I have added a couple of examples below!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews & Miss Hewitt xx
