Today was Connecting Kids Consciously] first day back of Term 1. It was so lovely to see so many familiar faces and new ones too!!
Today, we spoke about what the word belonging means. We spoke about where we feel we belong. It was clear so many kids that were returning felt a sense of belonging at Connecting Kids Consciously].
‘I feel I belong with my friends’ was a response during circle time. We all need to feel like we belong. I would argue it is one of our most basic needs.
We spoke about how for thousands of years people have shared stories as a way to build relationships and build a sensing of belonging. It was beautiful to hear the children’s stories over the past 6 weeks on holidays and watch the others practice listening and responding to each other.
So much magic happens during these sessions ✨
