Mindfulness
Highshore follows the MindUP™ programme. Students learn about the different parts of their brain and how it works as well and practicing daily routines such as the guided “Brain Break” breathing exercise or ‘Chime time’.
Students use their skills to help focus on the breath, mindful listening skills and mindful moving. Research shows that by using these mindful strategies it will drive pupils’ positive behaviour, improves learning and increases empathy, optimism and compassion.
Here is a short video of a class practicing their ‘Chime Time’
Staff get involved too and take part in a Mindful Minute breathing exercise every Wednesday morning for #WellbeingWednesday
