We explored the 5 ways to wellbeing: mindfulness, staying connected, being active, trying something new and giving to others. Hollie suggested we could play with our friends, Callie said we could dance, Haydn said that playing outside will help us to feel good, Alayna said we could talk, Percy said try a new sport and Vienna suggested and could make food for people. We then took part in a mindfulness session using peer massage. ![Image of Rhyme time ](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/720x440c/news/1378F345-5A36-4C43-99E4-3C085DD10F82.jpeg) 24 Apr [2024-04-24-rhyme-time](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) #### [Rhyme time ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) We had much fun at our Rhyme time session this morning, we shook our sillies out, sang lots of songs and listened to super worm!
