The session gave everyone the chance to relax, unwind, and explore the calming power of sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The children listened to peaceful tones created by singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion instruments. They also had the opportunity to play some of the instruments themselves, experimenting with rhythm and vibration to make their own soothing sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged \u2014 some pupils stretched out quietly to relax, while others loved discovering how different instruments could create unique tones. The soundbath was a lovely way to bring mindfulness and creativity together, leaving us all feeling calm and refreshed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it such a peaceful and memorable experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Links to
