Mindfulness 2020!

 Talofa Lava bloggers! 

Today I'm going to be writing about Mindfulness with Ms Ikinofo! My class went last, but this is what we did. We each had our own mat to sit on and we sat in our easy pose. Our easy pose was basically folding our legs and sitting up straight. Our teacher told us just to relax and focus on our breathing. Stretching from side to side my back was really sore. Then we stood up in our mountain pose and closed our eyes. We focused on 3 things for 1 minute each and it was the sounds, touch, and our breath. It was really hard to focus because there were distractions around me. After that we did some more stretching like downward dog, child pose, snake pose, crocodile pose, and table and cat pose.

Then we played a game with a timer. We had to hold hands in a circle and we had 1 hula hoop. We had to move the hula hoop around the circle and back to the person who started without letting go of each others hands. Straight after the game we had to buddy up back to back and say what we felt. Then we just did a 5 minute relaxation and lay on the mat. The music was very calm and my favorite thing about mindfulness is we get to calm down and empty out our minds. I felt like I was in the clouds just lying down on them comfortably. 

Do you like being calm and peaceful? Thanks for reading my blog post and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week! Bye!

Art Colouring Book!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

 Today Mr Margot who is one of the Manaiakalani teachers came in our class and set a activity for us to do. He came in to show us this years Summer Learning Journey. The Summer Learning Journey is a fun thing to do in summer. There is lots of activities and you learn new stuff. There are activities everyday and for six weeks. Its a really fun and cool experience. We registered for the Summer Learning Journey and watched a video from a Mannaikalani teacher named Ms Grant. 

She set up a video of how the Art Coloring book works.  It was really easy and all you have to do is go onto the site and press 'free experiment;. Then you can pick any picture and there are colours at the bottom. The first 8 colours on your left are the colors they used in the real picture. The other colors are for you to experiment. When you tap a colour and tap the picture it will fill it with the colour. Here is the site!
