The introductory session was insightful. The girls learnt alot about meditation. The group task really helped the group to bond. They will need to learn to work as a team for their forthcoming BTEC course. The meditation session was relaxing. The girls really did enjoy it as that is the quietist they have been! They could use these strategies this time next year as they will find all their revision sessions and exams quite stressful.
My conclusion of the enterprise task is some of the girls find working as a team quite hard but love the ‘hands on approach’. Exercising their minds as well as them taking part in pracitcal activities helps to keep the pupils focused.
Thanks for your time :) it was an enjoyable session overall.
