October is about Balance

Although we often think of them separately, our mental, physical and social wellbeing are connected. Spending time in nature, eating well, and doing something for others are ways for us to positively impact our wellbeing. When we are kind to the planet and each other, it is good for our health, and when we are healthy we are more able to help make the world a better place.

Classroom question of the month: 

What activity do you like doing best? How does it make you feel?

Let’s practise!

Students dance with their classmates and show them their favourite moves!

Class Activity: 3 to 5 mins
Creative Challenge: Happy Dance
Dancing is a great way to boost your physical and mental health, and when you do it with friends it also increases your social health!
Task: Dancing

• Step 1: Let your students pick a happy song, and start your class with a 5 minute dance activity to promote healthy movement and to set the scene for a fun and interactive class. 
• Step 2: Encourage your students to find a dance move that they love and that they can teach to the rest of the class.
