Year 3 are enjoying their very own peaceful classroom space in their new ‘Mindful Corner’. Relaxing with a book on the cushions, tracing patterns and feeling textures, observing nature, releasing anger by squeezing the ‘argh’ balls, writing down their thoughts and listening to serene music. There’s something in here to help everyone relax.
Everyone is appreciating this special area. The children have been bringing in their own special items to enhance and share in the Mindful Corner, and children from other classes are keen to come in and experience this quiet, relaxing space, too.
The ‘Mindful Corner’ was inspired by us being introduced to the MindUp Curriculum, which aims to provide children with emotional and cognitive tools to help them manage emotions and behaviour, reduce stress, sharpen concentration, and increase empathy and optimism.
Please feel welcome to come in and enjoy the peace and tranquility in our ‘Mindful Corner’ for yourself!
