Healthy Hearts and Healthy Minds

23rd March 2023

Class 3 took part in the Healthy Hearts/Healthy Minds workshop with Arena Sports today.

The children were taught exercises to help them with their thoughts and feelings. They took part in mindfulness sessions and relaxation session through Yoga and Pilates. After lunch, they had great fun taking part in a Zumba session, learning a routine to 'Cotton Eyed Joe'.

The children were able to learn ways in which they can relax and were given opportunities to explore how they are feeling and ways in which we can positively support our mental health.

Each child created a Dream Catcher using a mixture of natural and man-made resources to help them to have positive dreams and to help 'catch' any negative thoughts or feelings they may be struggling with.

The children learned five ways in which they can ensure they develop a 'Healthy Mind', these were:

1. To keep talking

2. To take notice

3. To stay active

4. To give

5. To learn news skills

A big thank-you to Michelle from Arena Sports for a fantastic day!
