Mindfulness Workshop with El Jones

Lesson: Personal, Social and Emotional Education

Class: Garden Room Year: 2024 - 2025

Today El visited us to do a special mindfulness workshop. El explained that she goes to school to help children feel the best that they can feel.

We did some breathing and listening activities. El had two spheres that she opened as we took a big breath in and closed as we breathed out. We then did Rainbow breathing breathing in as we put our arms up and out as we painted each colour with our fingers.

Then we did Mindful listening - we had to close our eyes while El made noises with objects we couldn’t see so we had to guess what they were. Then we had to pop bubbles. El explained that we could pop the bubbles and think of what makes us happy or stamp on the bubbles if we have worries.

Lastly we finished with the Sphere breathing again. We enjoyed our mindfulness session today.
