What is mindfulness? 

Mindfulness means paying full attention to something. It means slowing down to really notice what you're doing. Being mindful is the opposite of rushing or multitasking. When you're mindful, you're taking your time. You're focusing in a relaxed, easy way.

Why is mindfulness important?

Being mindful helps you:

• pay attention better
• be less distracted
• learn more
• stay calm under stress
• avoid getting too upset about things
• slow down instead of rush
• listen better to others
• be more patient
• get along better
• feel happier and enjoy things more

The more you practise, the better you get! 

At Stokenchurch Primary School, we use the Stokie Second to reset and refresh ourselves after break and lunch so we are ready to learn.
