Mental Health Week 2023

During Mental Health Week P5-7 have been thinking about how to stay calm and focus.
Sometimes our mind goes into "puppy brain" mode, with all sorts of jumbled thoughts, acting just like a puppy running crazily! Our mind is racing and our body begins to tell us we are feeling anxious. We need to use some strategies to help ourselves calm our "puppy brain."
The class have been practising different breathing techniques and ways of refocusing their attention in the present moment.
They made "here and now" boxes and are beginning to add items and strategies to help them stay calm to their boxes.
