GRADE 5-6 WELLBEING MEC EXCURSION
On Thursday 28th July the 5/6 class visited the Molesworth Environment Centre to participate in the wellbeing excursion. We built shelters, created artwork from the things around us and ate some beautiful damper.
Reflections from the 5/6 students include:
It was very fun and creative. – Finn
I really loved the shelter building. – Ethan
The Mr Felmingham damper was good. – Aisha
We survived the dirty water because our shelter was good. – Logan
I think everything was really good on a very nice day. It was my favourite MEC excursion. – Bryce
It was a very good experience and I was lucky to do it. – Chayse
We spoke about what well-being actually means and things that we could do to improve our overall wellness, including stopping and sitting down outside with our eyes closed, using our senses to focus on what was happening around us for a minute or two.
Back in class on Friday we reflected on this and created a timetable of things we do each day. We thought about what we do and whether there was anything we could do differently to achieve better health.
Our class also created some self-care wheels. On the wheels we put things that we could do to help ourselves, if we are feeling overwhelmed or anxious, sad or angry. These were things that we either did already or wanted to do to help our overall well-being. We have shared these below.
