As we have been doing for the past 2 years that I have been in Hornby High School, in our class; we have been spending around 10-15min of our morning-
this year and the year before-doing "Mindfulness Activities". This year is not an exception to that, mindfulness is a part of most of our mornings.
Mindfulness Activities put us into the brain-mind set of being calm, a state of the mind where we are in peace; where we are in the best state to learn. Where we are ready to study and not in our "fight or flight mode", doing mindfulness makes the students, in a tranquil condition where our mental well-being is being taken care of. Task such as; drawing, listening to music, connecting with people, learning something new, etc. They are some of the things that we do to put us at peace and get ready for learning.
As for now, my opinion to "Mindfulness" has not changed, I think that it might not be essential to learning, but it is what makes learning to be at the best quality. We-students-learn better and are set better, an important part in which learning will be fun and engaging.
