During the month of September, 5th and 6th Class met the author of the “Weaving Wellbeing” books, Fiona Foreman. We took part in her online Zoom classes. With her help we made a class wellbeing plan for the year. It has three parts: physical, mental and emotional. Our physical wellbeing plan is to get enough sleep, regular movement breaks, drink more water and eat more fruit. Our mental wellbeing plan is to do regular meditation, have gratitude, listen to calming music while we work and to ask for help when we need it. Our emotional wellbeing plan is to use breathing exercises, count to 10 before we react to a stressful situation, talk about our feelings and follow the motto “Do good to feel good.”
The online sessions were very interesting and there were lovely quotes and posters. Fiona told us to make our own posters. She taught us some useful breathing exercises which we plan to use this year.
