Wellbeing Session

Date: 26th Feb 2020 @ 1:18pm

We had a brilliant time taking part in a special wellbeing session today! We were given 10 challenges to attempt, some of which were quite easy, some of which seemed impossible! Here's a taster of some of our challenges:

* Rolling a ball into a specific area

* Keeping two balloons in the air for 30 seconds

* Testing the speed of our hands by swapping coloured balls from one box to another in as short a time as possible

* Passing a ball to each other with our eyes closed

* Memory test to see if we could remember where particular picture cards were when turned over

During the activities, we were encouraged to think about how we felt - we were pleased and proud when we completed a challenge, but it could feel quite frustrating when we had to keep on trying and not always succeed. We talked about the importance of perseverence and resilience, especially when we try new things, and thought of strategies we could use to help us develop these skills. What an important message!
