Wellbeing- Pillar 5- Pruning and Myelin

After our Boarding Assembly last week and sharing the Pillar with the students, this week we start on debunking myths and understanding the process of the brain.

We watched a quick video explaining the key aspects of;

  • Adolescent Brain Myths
  • Pruning
  • Myelin
  • Use it or Lose it Pinciple
  • Neuroplasticity
  • Integrated Brain
  • Pathway to Wellbeing

The students watched attentively as I gave them each a different question at the beginning that they had to answer at the end 🙂

 

Spring Garden

As are now in the middle of Spring it is the prime time to get our Leman Terrace ready to be enjoyed. We have a whole host of outdoor furniture which the boys can relax on and get their vitamin D. For the boys who are a little more active and keen on their fitness we have the Pull Up Bar, Dip Bar and Boxing Bag. We also have our table tennis set up and ready.

In addition, we have now started planting out our flower and vegetable garden. We have some seeds planted which are starting to come through and got a little head start with some grown plants too. We are hoping for a nice offering of tomatoes, peppers, radishes, courgettes and strawberries.
