As part of our expedition work the children in EYFS enjoyed a sound therapy session with Karen White from Phoenix Therapy, Thorne. The children really enjoyed how to control their breathing and how they can control their own emotions. They also enjoyed sending all the worries into the thunder tin and listening to the gong and how loud it could be. We listened carefully to where we could feel the sounds in our bodies. Finally we relaxed and listened to the wonderful sounds Karen could make with all her equipment. We will definitely be continuing to use the techniques Karen showed us. We have already noticed a difference with how the children are able to use the breathing to calm their minds.
