One of our daily activities in Room 18 is to practice mindfulness. We do this every day after lunch and I find it helps learners to get back into a learning frame of mind for our afternoon session. On Mondays to Thursdays we use an app called "Smiling Mind" (you may want to have a listen yourself to see what we're doing). This app encourages learners to think about emotions, kindness, breathing and focused their attention.
Learners in room 18 sit or lie in a position that helps them to relax and focus
On Fridays our mindfulness is slightly different and we sketch to focus our attention. Music for mindfulness is played and learners are encouraged to focus deeply on their subject. This week it was each other. The results were amazing and learners loved the opportunity to check out each others sketches and give positive feedback.
Wow!!! your work is amazing. Have you thought about hanging it on the wall? The smiles complete the drawings. Ariana Room 9
