Stormbreak!
At Trinity we are use a program called Stormbreak, a mental health through movement initiative. Stormbreak is designed to 'normalise' conversation around key mental health concepts, supporting children to regulate their emotions and develop empathy with their peers. The program uses a range of movement breaks coupled with discussion around the concepts of Resilience, Relationships, Self-care, Hope & Optimism, and Self-worth.
Year 5 enjoyed our stormbreak 'Nature's Trees.' We thought about our favourite tree and imagined growing from seed to fully grown tree comparing this to persevering to reach our goals and to keep going even when things get tough. We also joined together in small groups to support each other to reach our goals and grow into a strong tree.
Below Ducklings will tell you what it means to them to have Resilience, Relationships, Self-care, Hope & Optimism and Self-worth.
The creators of Stormbreak sent Ducklings class a video for being Stormbreak superstars!
Below Ducklings will show you some of their favourite Stormbreaks!
