In November/December 2018, 30 of our pupils from R-Year 6 took part in a 5 week yoga block with a yoga specialist Tessa Clemson. They learnt all about mindfulness and the different poses and techniques used in Yoga and learnt how to control their breathing. The children loved it and we were very impressed with their mature approach to the sessions.
