Peaceful Play with Primary 1: Stretch, Breathe, Relax!

5th Jun 2025

 

As a proud Nurture School, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. In Primary 1, the children enjoyed a calming outdoor lesson focused on wellbeing, using a variety of resources to explore how we can look after our minds and bodies.

The session included a massage station, where children learned simple peer massage techniques to help relax and connect with one another. They also took part in yoga with blocks, using fun poses and balance challenges to develop strength, focus and flexibility. To finish, we explored breath work using breathing balls and visual prompts to practise calming breaths and mindfulness techniques.

All staff at St. Colman's are trained in the Nurture in 5 programme and daily routines such as this support our commitment to nurturing every child. These sessions not only build emotional awareness but also encourage kindness, calmness and confidence in our youngest learners.
