All Things Bright and Beautiful 🐞 🐠 🦋

Whilst at Lichfield Cathedral, every child created a piece of artwork relating to the theme, ‘All things bright and beautiful’ which is inspired by beauty and spirituality.

They will form part of a display around the cathedral made by 1000 school pupils and will be on display over the summer.

If you get a chance then maybe you could visit over the summer holidays and try and spot your design!

MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY!

Happy Monday NJS!

This week I am going to share some ideas for meditation!

What is meditation? 

Meditation is when you focus your mind to help you relax and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. It is a tool you can use anytime you would like to feel calmer, less stressed or simply as a daily activity to maintain a good quality of mind.

Meditation is not about turning off your thoughts or stopping your feelings – it’s about observing them without judgement, from a bigger perspective. Learning to meditate is the same as learning any other sport or skill – it can take some time and practice to get better at it, but it is definitely a skill worth mastering. It is a great way to be kinder to ourselves, and also helps us be kind to others.

Why meditate? 

  1. It is proven to reduce stress!
  2. It helps us feel happier.
  3. Meditation helps us relax which can help improve sleep.

Below is a guided mediation for children. We often do this at school with simple music… 5OP often listen to piano music to create a calm environment (we also listen to music from different decades so not always piano). You don’t need music either… simply a quiet place to sit and reflect.

Take care,
