4th Class Character Strength Portraits

In SPHE 4th Class pupils  were talking about character strengths and some of the boys drew their picture and wrote in their character strengths around it. 

It was a nice idea and they called it Character Strength Portraits.

It is from the Weaving Well Being Programme for 4th class.

4th Class Healthy Mind Platters

An exercise in "Looking Forward"

4th Class Find the Signs of Spring

This time last year!

On this day last year our in-house Chicks and Baby Rabbits were born.
It's hard to believe - thanks to Mrs O'Regan for sharing these precious memories.

The Healthy Mind Platter

The seven essential daily mental activities are:

Focus Time. When we closely focus on tasks in a goal-oriented way, taking on challenges that make deep connections in the brain.

Play Time. When we allow ourselves to be spontaneous or creative, playfully enjoying novel experiences, which helps make new connections in the brain.

Connecting Time. When we connect with other people, ideally in person, or take time to appreciate our connection to the natural world around us, richly activating the brain's relational circuitry.

Physical Time. When we move our bodies, aerobically if medically possible, which strengthens the brain in many ways.

Time In. When we quietly reflect internally, focusing on sensations, images, feelings and thoughts, helping to better integrate the brain.

Down Time. When we are non-focused, without any specific goal, and let our mind wander or simply relax, which helps our brain recharge.
​
Sleep Time. When we give the brain the rest it needs to consolidate learning and recover from the experiences of the day.

Make your own Healthy Mind Platter taking into account the 7 essential activities for optimum wellbeing.

There will be a prize for the best entries.
