The children and teachers had a great week during 'Wellbeing Week'. Every day had a different theme..
'Mindful Monday' - The children thought about what it means to be 'mindful'. We practiced 'mindful eating' and learnt various breathing and relaxation exercises.
'Tasty Tuesday' - As it was also 'Pancake Tuesday' we thought about all the different ways we could decorate and create our own pancakes with the help of the 'Cooking Skills' groups from 5th & 6th! Yum...
'Workout Wednesday' - This day was all about the effect exercise has on our bodies and minds. Each class had their own amazing ideas for movement. There was dancing, running, badminton, skipping, hurling and more gentler exercise such as yoga too.
'Thankful Thursday' - All the children recognise that it is important to be thankful for what we have. Each class made their own 'jars of gratitude' with their own messages of gratitude inside.
'Feel Good Friday' - Today was all about feeling good! Children could bring in objects from home which make them feel happy and share them with their friends and teachers. The 5th & 6th Classes organised a soccer tournament for the whole school which was great fun!
There was a great buzz and sense of happiness and contentment around the school this week. The teachers got involved too with their own 'secret friend' mission!
