  • Move: physical fitness
  • Think: knowledge of healthy, active living

Description

This unit will focus on exploring positive and negative emotions and managing them through using mindfulness techniques such as visualisation, meditative balances, mime and deep breathing. Pupils will understand why these techniques are important for a healthy mind to support our overall wellbeing.

This unit introduces pupils to new mindfulness techniques that develop the learning they have already experienced in previous units focused on meditative balances. This unit really supports pupils to discuss and explain their feelings and emotions, understanding why it is important to use mindfulness techniques in order to combat negative emotions. Throughout the unit, a focus on how these techniques align with our overall health and well being is essential in supporting pupils to take ownership of leading a healthy active lifestyle.
