Y6 – Take Notice

On Tuesday afternoon, Year 6 engaged with various well-being activities which can help with stress and worries. After a sharing thoughts about transitioning to high school, the class practised breathing techniques (comparing square and triangle breathing), the 54321 grounding method and then went outside for a Take Notice session inspired by the William Henry Davies poem 'Leisure' which begins 'What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare'. The children went outside and selected the 'best natural thing' they could find, and once we returned to the classroom, they had the chance to explain what they noticed that was so interesting/beautiful about what they found.
