Mrs Dickson, a parent from P6a visited our classes to share her knowledge about mindfulness. She helped us to understand the importance of mindfulness by showing us a jug of water and stirred some glitter into it. The water represented our brain and the glitter represented our thoughts and it showed us how busy our brain can become and this is why it is so important to have quiet, calm time …mindfulness.

We then participated in some exercises. Mindfulness eating with a raisin, sitting like a frog whilst listening to a CD from this book:

Ruby said, “I found the mindfulness very calming.” Molly added, “I really enjoyed the mindfulness eating as it made you savour your food more.”

“Mindfulness helps you to get into a place where you can think about your problems or relax without feeling stress.” said Callum.

We would like to give Mrs Dickson a big thank you for teaching us about mindfulness.
