As this week is children’s mental health week, we have been discussing the power of our thoughts in P3/4/5. Today we used some practical items to help visualise what happens if we let negativity cloud our minds, and how we can help to get rid of negative thoughts when they arise. We used a glass of water to represent our mind, some soil to represent negative thoughts, and water to represent positive thinking. When the soil entered the glass of water it became hard to see clearly but the more positive thoughts (water) we added the more the negative thoughts left the glass. Some parts of the soil were hard to get rid of, so for those we asked adults who we trust to help us. A fun, but effective way look at the power of our thoughts.
