Lesson: Gratitude
21 Dec 2019 - Gratitude
"What if we woke up today with only the things we were thankful for yesterday?"
We wanted to show and model the way to have a grateful heart in hopes that the children will be able to inspire all that look up to them. We thanked flowers, rain, the birds and the trees and emulated their form through yoga poses. We also wanted to thank our bodies for working just perfectly for us by dancing and running around to music.
We ended off our session by reading 'The Thankful Book' written by Todd Parr and decorated stones, as a beautiful gesture to give someone we were thankful for.

Lesson: Nature
18th Jan 2020 - Nature
"If we want children to flourish, to be really empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it"
We started off with a discussion on what nature was, what was natural and what was man made.
We then read the book *The Curious Garden by Peter Brown. The book showed us how we could create an entire garden from an abandoned train track. It showed the children how they could start doing that at home or even in school.
We played a few games and did some garden yoga.
Our session ended off by us closing our eyes, calming down and listening to the nature sounds playing in the background while meditating.

Lesson: Fearless Wings
WE'RE BACKKKKK!!!
12th Dec 2020/16th Dec 2020 -Fearless Wings
"You're BRAVER then you believe, stronger then you seem and smarter then you think"
We read the book Fearless Wings and decided that we too wanted to go on a journey to conquer our fears. We also learnt that it was ok to be afraid of things and take our time to get through what makes us scared.
We used certain meditation/yoga/art and drama techniques to express ourselves in ways that made us feel comfortable to be us.

Lesson: Christmas Party
23rd December 2020 - Christmas(the art of giving)
"Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us and it doesn't have to start when we're older."
Our lesson kick started with, 'I love you Father Christmas' a light hearted Christmas book to get into the chritmas spirit.
We spoke about Christmas and calmed our bodies in a relaxed lying down position as Ms Gioia guided us with some self affirmation of giving and sharing and what that meant to us during Christmas.
Before making our specially decorated Christmas ornament we decided that we wanted to give that to someone special
Next came a naughty little surprise from the elves with a message for us, but they weren't going to make it easy.
They wanted us to do a little "search and rescue" before getting to the main message.
Nothing a little team work wouldn't solve!
We also brought home a little act of kindness card that we randomly picked out from the Christmas sock to do at any time!
