Year 4 Enrichment

Today for enrichment they spoke about breathing exercises and how their breathing can be like a boat sailing on a sea. When the water is calm the boat sails in the right direction but when there is a storm the boat will go off in different directions and may even capsize. The children related this to their breathing, when we are calm our breathing is focused and regular, however when we are angry or upset our breathing is irregular which can sometimes makes us feel worse. The children laid on the floor, eyes closed while different scenarios were read to them. The children felt what effects this had on their breathing and we found a way to calm ourselves by clearing our thoughts.
