Kindness Day 26th February

Yesterday at Broadfield, students and staff were encouraged to wear green and yellow to celebrate Kindness day as well as conducting acts of kindness to their peers.

The theme for the day was based on the book My Hidden Chimp, an effective and powerful new educational book that offers parents, teachers and carers some ideas and thoughts on how to help children to develop healthy habits for life. The science behind the habits, based on the Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters, is discussed in a practical way with exercises and activities to help children think the habits through and start putting them into practice. The neuroscience of the mind is simplified for children to understand and then use to their advantage. Lessons were tailored around this concept which will be now be used by our students to help manage emotions, thoughts and behaviour.
