I have been delivering the lessons at Nonsuch Primary School, starting the lessons with Year 5 in May last academic year and continuing with the next 10 this academic year now the group is in Year 6 this academic year. One of the most rewarding elements of incorporating certain pillars of the MindUp curriculum into my daily lessons such as a brain break is that it teaches students to practice being present in the moment. There are 4 units – Getting Focused, Sharpening Your Senses, It’s All About Attitude and Taking Action Mindfully. In fact, one of my students asked for a brain break before a test because it helped her stay calm during the test. The lessons encourage brain focused strategies for learning and living – in the hope that the classroom will become more focused, mindful learning will be taking place and the children will become more resilient. MindUp is an American programme of 15 lessons put together by The Hawn Foundation. ***A review of MindUp Lessons at Nonsuch Primary School***
