Stay and Play in The Den
Today we had an absolutely fabulous time with our parents and carers in The Den. Our parents and carers joined us for choosing time, snack and mindfulness. Firstly we chose what to play with our carers, we enjoyed showing them the many different activities we take part in when we are in The Den. We then had a breakfast of croissants, butter, jam, strawberries, blueberries and fruit juice – we thought this was delicious! Finally, we all took part in mindfulness, today’s story was ‘The Little Mermaid’. We really enjoyed having our parents and carers in The Den today and we are looking forward to inviting them in again soon.

Mindfulness in The Den
In The Den we have been learning about Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is “The practice of being aware of your body, mind, and feelings in the present moment, thought to create a feeling of calm.”
To create this feeling of calm we close the blinds, find a space to lie on a beanbag on the floor, turn off the light and listen to calming music. We also practise our deep breathing. We finish the session by having a big stretch and each of us says something positive that has happened so far that day. This helps us to go back to class feeling calm and positive.
