To encourage the children to connect with their own thoughts and regulate their feelings Mrs Hendry has been inviting small groups of children to take part in a Mindfulness session. While engaging with all of their senses with the use of scented candles, flowers, sensory light equipment the children were transported on a magical flying carpet, it was amazing to hear where their imagination took them…
‘We imagined we were on magic carpet. It was comfy on the ground. It was really dark the moon and the stars were there, the carpet was flying it was like magic’
‘We were on a magic carpet, we used our imagination, it was good’
‘Went on a flying carpet but it wasn’t real it was pretend, it was fun’
‘We were using our imagination, It was making me calm. I was going to my place’
‘We went on a carpet and Mrs Hendry turned the light off and took our shoes off’
‘We were imagining stuff, we were on a carpet and it could fly. The lights were switched off but we seen the stars and the moon’.
‘I went up there, in the sky’.
‘Flying a magic carpet, the lights were off. Using imagination’
‘I went on a magic carpet, we were flying, it was just fun and that’s the end.’
‘I saw the starts and the moon and we lied down. The moon was changing colours’
‘It was sparkly ad dark, there was a sparkly crown, there was a carpet. Fun.’
