Kate from Mini Me Mindfulness visited us last Thursday and Friday to help us continue exploring resilience and the idea of “I can’t do it… yet!”

As well as spending time in Honeypot, Kate led a whole‑school assembly and followed this up with a half‑hour class session. During these sessions, we breathed, we meditated, we listened to resilience stories and we danced! Oh, and some of us got gently bopped on the head with a big inflatable mallet! The question was… when we got knocked over, did we choose to get back up again?

Interesting fact: mindful breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of the body that helps us feel calm and settled) which can help to quiet our busy minds!

Kate will be visiting again next half term. During her visit, she will also be running a parent workshop on how to support your child’s mindset and wellbeing at home. As soon as the date is confirmed, we will share further details.
