  • Think: knowledge of healthy, active living

Description

The unit will explore how we feel in our minds and in our bodies, when we experience various emotions. Pupils will learn how to execute meditative balances while focusing, to help combat feelings of anxiety. Pupils will gain an awareness of how to apply these techniques in day-to-day life.

Pupils will already have a strong understanding of the importance of exercise and how we can keep our bodies healthy. This unit introduces pupils to a more indepth look at the importance of having a healthy mind. Exploring meditative balances and relaxation techniques will introduce pupils to an entirely new concept that will help to support their mental wellbeing and overall fitness. The skills learnt in this unit, will support pupils to feel calmer and focused in all subsequent learning.
