Classroom value
What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Breathe, listen, hum, sing gently, imagine, draw, write, describe sounds and return to learning calmly.
Use a clear teaching route
Keep the room settled, shorten breath holds when needed, offer one focus such as sound, touch or movement, and give pupils enough quiet time to finish before sharing.
