What a lovely day we all had yesterday! We started the day by talking about our emotions and how these made us feel. We visualised these and gave them colours and shapes and thought about where we feel them in our bodies.
We then tried out different ways to deal with and calm ourselves down when we feel like we are losing control. The strategies we tried were: mindful colouring, listening to calming music, brain distracting games, different yoga styles and then thought about how playing a musical instrument can help us. We had a fantastic session with Jim, who taught us all about different guitars. We managed to play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ and ‘Crazy Shark’ using Boomwhack instruments which was a lot of fun! Have a look at the photos of our day.
Children enjoyed a range of activities for our whole school well-being day. The day was described as ‘the best day ever!’

Last week we attended a music workshop with Jim Elliott where we had the opportunity to listen to him play a variety of musical instruments. Jim taught let us use some of the instruments and we learnt a piece of music which we enjoyed performing to Mrs Fielding and Mrs Wood.

We really enjoyed our music session with Jim Elliot today. We learnt about different types of guitar, increased our musical vocabulary and also played some tunes on the boomwhackers! It was great fun!
