We tried something different for PE Enrichment Day this term – a sound bath!  Sound baths are designed to encourage us to actively listen and experience the power of musical instruments through the whole body.

The pupils were amazed how they could feel the vibrations of the instruments and how relaxed it made them feel.  We did have to wake a few sleepy heads up!  One child claimed the experience had healing properties!

“I had backache this morning,” he said.  “But I could feel the vibrations in my back and it relaxed me and now I don’t ache anymore!”

We wanted pupils to experience the value of being still and listening with intent, as both are skills associated with good mental health and wellbeing.

Thank you to Cathy for delivering this experience to our pupils.
