Habitat 10 has been learning about Mindfulness over the last few weeks and exploring how this can be used as a tool to help us control emotions, calm down and have more focus on our learning. We have been using the smilingmind program designed for 7-9 year olds.
If you would like to find out more about the research behind Mindfulness in schools the link http://mindfulnzschools.nz/ has some excellent information.
Below is one of the mindfulness activities. Kenta taught us all how to make an origami boat and when we listened to the mindfulness lesson we were asked to think about our breathing and how the boat was moving up and down. It was super fun and relaxing.
