Wellbeing - Mindfulness colouring (see attached or create your own drawing!)

Here is some happy music you may wish to listen to as you colour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd4j9osCNT4&t=1567s&ab_channel=OCBRelaxMusic
Before you start to colour, have a go at doing our ‘happy breathing’ which is when we hold out our hand in front of us and slowly on each breath trace around our fingers as we breath in and out with our other hand...I’m sure the children will remember how to do this! Take your time and try and control your breathing. Think happy thoughts as you colour in with your favourite colours and let those happy thoughts travel through your body. Say to yourself, “I am special.” Always remember that you are all unique (there is only 1 of you) and you are all very special.

Wellbeing Time -time to stop and recharge
Sit comfortably and begin to relax by taking 3 deep, slow breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. Take a few minutes to watch this video clip of winter scenery and be still as you watch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn1sLTb39RU&t=9872s
After a while and when you feel calm, shut your eyes and continue to listen to the music as you are still and quiet (you may wish to lie down for this). See if you can sit/lie still for at least 5 minutes. When you feel recharged begin to move slowly, begin by moving your feet and then work up through the body until you reach your head. Slowly open your eyes and have a big stretch and yawn...or two! Slowly sit up and try and describe how you are feeling. End with happy thoughts...what makes you feel happy? Think of lots of things that put a smile on your face. Choose one of these things to do sometime today and one thing that you are going to look forward to doing soon.
