What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a meditation that calms our body and our mind using a mindfulness bell. It also allows us to focus on now, and leave the past and not worry about the future. There are two zones of mindfulness which are red and green. The red zone is when you are angry, frustrated, distracted, anxious, etc. The green zone is when you are calm, clear, peaceful, engaged, etc. This also lets us remove our negativity from our minds, and control our thoughts and emotions. To have a mindful mind you will need to have your legs crossed, hands on knees, close your eyes then breath in and then breath out while your back is straight.
After doing this mindfulness session I felt more calm, and had a clear mind.
LI: To write an abstract noun.
For this task we worked collaboratively to create a poem using abstract nouns. Our group was given a list of abstract nouns that we can use to write a poem. The abstract noun we choose was misery. We used the five senses to describe what misery sounds, looks, tastes, and smells like while using metaphors to structure a poem correctly.
An abstract noun is a feeling or emotion that cannot be physically touched. A metaphor is the comparison between two things without using as or like.
For example: Happiness is a river of joy that is flowing through my heart.
The word happiness is the abstract noun and is used to create this metaphor.
I really enjoyed doing this because I got to work collaboratively and work together in a group and also use powerful words to strengthen the poem and make our metaphor stand out.
LI: to understand what a metaphor is and how we use them in writing.
LI: consider both perspectives.
Today for inquiry my group and I read information about Kuirau Park, Rotorua, New Zealand we then looked if the information was true or false if the event took place or not by looking at one place in New Zealand.
Something I found interesting was that some of the information written was real but at the end it was not true.
