Qurat Manzoor During this week’s Hummingbird Project workshop, we learned to identify our character strengths. We had to narrow down our many strengths to just 5. Some of us chose humour, forgiving, grateful, considerate and creative to name a few. We are always developing and building on our strengths.
Y3G had their session with Bright Leaders. They practiced their leadership skills. We focused on, how to lead ourselves and use our “Initiative” while working together. We had to think, how to take initiative while working in pairs, working together to complete the tasks and learned that it is very important to play our part and consider the ideas of others.
This week Y3G took part in the 2nd session of HUMMINGBIRD Project. Today, we focused on ‘Mindfulness’ and ‘Savouring’. Savouring involves slowing down and paying attention to the tiny things that make you happy. We have done a small sniffing activity where children sniffed from different Jars and rate the smell.
Year 3 had their session with Bright Leaders. We practised our listening and cooperation skills. We had to think about working together to complete tasks and learned that it is important to play our part, consider the ideas of others and do the right thing even when no one is watching.
