Dreamcatchers!
We are learning about how we can sleep better at night. We have made dream catchers to help catch our worries, fears and bad dreams.
Here are some other ways to help us sleep better:
Sleep meditations/stories
Sleep sounds
Deep breathing
Counting up or down from 100
No screen time 1 hour before sleep
Staying active during the day
Weighted blanket
Pillow Mists
Meditations
We can do meditations to relax us.
P6 tried out a range of meditations. Before starting, we always close our eyes, relax our bodies, focus on clearing our thoughts/worries and we take some deep breaths. During the meditation, we focus all our attention on listening to Miss Wilson's voice.
Some of the meditations we tried were:
-Floating on a cloud
-Drifting down the river
-On the beach
Afterwards, we felt peaceful and calm - ready to take on anything!
Emotions Art!
We looked at how Picasso depicted emotion through his artwork. We talked about how we can express emotion through art. We created Picasso-style self-portraits which portrayed 2 emotions.
P6 Yogies!
P6 completed a yoga session! We learnt about all the benefits of yoga too!
We know that yoga can:
- Help us feel calm
- Improve our concentration and focus
- Stretch and strengthen our muscles
- Help with our balance and coordination
Sensory Bottles!
P6 made sensory bottles!
- We can shake our bottles when we are worried, upset or angry.
- Watching the glitter swirl and settle can help us feel calm.
- Sometimes our thoughts and worries can swirl in our heads, just like the glitter in the bottle!
- Our thoughts and worries will settle too, just like the glitter.
