'Burst of Happiness' in Year 5!

On Friday 9th October Year 5 recognised Mental Health Day. To begin the afternoon, Miss Wildig’s class made themselves comfortable and joined in with meditation, picturing their tree house and what would be in their safe space.

They then looked at a range of positive affirmation quotes and wrote their own secret messages to each other. Using white oil pastels, each child created their own quote which was then passed to a different pupil in the class. With water colours, they painted the paper to reveal their message.

Finally everyone wrote a positive word or phrase to describe each person in the class. These words were then placed in a balloon for each child. They took their balloons home and when appropriate, the children popped their balloon for a ‘burst of happiness.’
