Mindfulness and the Zones of Regulation
Dear Kennedy Parents,
Please join us next Friday, 1st December for the PTA Coffee Morning, where I will share with you some of the exciting changes that we have adopted at Kennedy School this year, with regards to Mindfulness. We will discuss how it supports the behaviour programme we follow here at school - The Zones of Regulation.
I look forward to joining you to talk about what Mindfulness is, why we have brought it into school as a daily practise for the children, what that looks like in the classroom and how it supports the children with their emotional and physical behaviour. You’ll leave with lots of ideas and some tools to help you live life in the Green Zone!
