Flowers & Pebbles Play

We were at both Port of Menteith and then Gartmore Primary schools today. Both schools have been focusing on health and wellbeing this week so we built our sessions around this.
We had some discussions about what we thought the benefits of being outdoors were, then we did a tricky task of meditation in complete silence and stillness to see what senses we could notice working. We realised when we slow down and focus, we start to notice what is all around us. Everyone felt very calm and peaceful.
After this we did a scavenger hunt for facts about the benefits of being outdoors. We worked out which facts went in each category.
We finished the session off with some team building using pipes and balls. A giant marble run with tricky rules to follow. We had to work pretty hard to make this work but eventually when we worked together we completed the task!
