Mrs Venville introduced Room 3 to Mindfulness today. While many in our class are familiar with the concepts from last year, we were able to revisit this important concept of hauora - well-being. The key to mindfulness is to pause and breathe. If there is a sense of being overwhelmed or stressed - taking time to pause, breathe and smile can make all the difference in calming us down. It is good for the body and mind. If you want to know more, check out the video link below on Mindfulness for Kids.

We also took time to eat mindfully. The deliberate choice to pause, study and appreciate the texture, appearance, aroma and flavour of food creates a new sense of well-being. Concentrating on what we are doing and experiencing 'in the moment', instead of being distracted by our environment or our thoughts. We can appreciate every mouthful more - even with a small raisin!
