Schools Tree Day - The Nature of Mindfulness - 5 minutes

These mindfulness activities are based upon our five senses: touch, smell, taste, sound and sight. They offer students the opportunity to connect with the natural world in a hands-on way, while enabling deep focus through sensory observation. Each activity runs for approximately five minutes and can be done individually or combined as a range of sensory experiences in one lesson.

Learning Goals:

• To provide hands-on direct contact with the natural world.
• To ‘wake up the senses’ of each student, enabling deep focus and engagement.
• To connect students with nature.
