Hi everybody, welcome.
[0:50]
Miss Kelly here.
[0:52]
Let's practise our school yoga together.
[0:56]
Thank you for being ready in easy pose,
[0:59]
sitting down on the ground, crossed ankles, sitting
[1:03]
up nice and tall, hands together, easy pose.
[1:10]
Wonderful for us to sit in easy pose.
[1:13]
Yes, we feel good sitting nice and tall.
[1:18]
I have a story.
[1:21]
Thank you for listening.
[1:25]
Remember, I have two kittens, Freya and Fernando.
[1:29]
Well, this story is about Freya, the one
[1:35]
that has all the courage and is learning
[1:37]
how to be gentle.
[1:40]
When I come into my home, everybody, I
[1:45]
open the door, I close the door carefully.
[1:50]
I take my shoes off inside the door
[1:53]
and then I go inside.
[1:56]
And I will put my shoes away in
[1:59]
the closet later.
[2:00]
I always take my shoes off at the
[2:03]
door.
[2:05]
The other day, I came home, opened the
[2:09]
door, closed the door carefully, took off my
[2:14]
shoes at the door, walked into the kitchen,
[2:18]
had a nice glass of water.
[2:22]
I turned back around and what?
[2:27]
Everybody, I saw my kitten Freya standing in
[2:35]
my shoes.
[2:37]
Kittens don't wear shoes.
[2:40]
What is going on?
[2:41]
There she was, standing in my shoes, so
[2:47]
cute.
[2:48]
And it made me think of something that
[2:53]
we say.
[2:56]
Sometimes we say, imagine standing in someone's shoes.
[3:02]
What does that mean?
[3:05]
When we imagine standing in someone's shoes, everyone,
[3:12]
it means that we imagine how someone is
[3:17]
feeling and we are kind.
[3:26]
So please sit up nice and tall, hands
[3:28]
into calm hearts.
[3:30]
Calm breathing, calm hearts helps us to imagine
[3:35]
how someone feels and be kind to them.
[3:41]
There is a word that means imagine how
[3:46]
someone feels and show kindness.
[3:49]
Let's learn this word together.
[3:51]
The word is empathy.
[3:55]
Starts with an E.
[3:57]
Let's say empathy.
[4:01]
Well, having empathy, thinking about how others feel
[4:07]
and being kind to them is a very,
[4:10]
very good way to be.
[4:11]
And if we have empathy in our classroom,
[4:15]
we imagine how our classmates feel and our
[4:17]
teachers feel, we have great learning.
[4:22]
Let's practise our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[4:26]
Hands are together and we will sing our
[4:29]
hearts, our calm.
[4:32]
Hands into those beautiful calm hearts, peaceful calm
[4:35]
hearts.
[4:38]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[4:45]
Good, everybody.
[4:46]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[4:53]
And here we go.
[4:54]
Calm breath in.
[5:10]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[5:14]
Excellent.
[5:15]
And hands are down.
[5:17]
Easy pose, sitting tall.
[5:19]
Now hands on two knees.
[5:21]
Left hand.
[5:24]
And we're making an arm circle like a
[5:26]
smiling face.
[5:27]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[5:32]
Oh, yes, we like to smile at others.
[5:34]
Yes, we do.
[5:35]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[5:39]
Maybe it's a rainbow smiling face.
[5:42]
Calm breath in.
[5:44]
And calm breath out to the centre.
[5:47]
Good, everybody.
[5:47]
Hands into calm hearts.
[5:49]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[5:53]
Easy pose, sitting tall.
[5:55]
Hands on two knees.
[5:56]
We have our right hand.
[5:57]
We're ready.
[5:59]
We're making a circle like a smiling face
[6:03]
together.
[6:05]
And let's take our calm breath in and
[6:10]
calm breath out.
[6:11]
Be careful.
[6:12]
Draw a nice, wonderful, smiling face.
[6:15]
Be focused.
[6:17]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[6:20]
Good.
[6:21]
Not a big circle, just medium.
[6:23]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[6:28]
Wonderful.
[6:30]
Calm hearts.
[6:31]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[6:36]
Easy pose, sitting tall.
[6:38]
Hands on two knees.
[6:40]
You know, sometimes we could look at people
[6:45]
with our smiling eyes.
[6:47]
Nice, wonderful eyes.
[6:50]
Let's make a circle like little, smiling, kind
[6:56]
eyes.
[6:57]
With our head, we're going carefully.
[7:00]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[7:04]
It's a small circle.
[7:05]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[7:10]
Opposite way.
[7:12]
We have our nice, tiny circle like smiling,
[7:18]
kind eyes.
[7:20]
Small, small circle like little eyes.
[7:25]
Good, everybody.
[7:25]
To the centre.
[7:27]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:31]
Easy pose, sitting tall.
[7:33]
Hands on two knees.
[7:35]
Shoulder circles back and around.
[7:37]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:43]
We like to have healthy, calm bodies.
[7:45]
Yes, we do.
[7:46]
To the front.
[7:48]
Shoulder circles.
[7:49]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:54]
Excellent.
[7:55]
Sitting tall.
[7:57]
Let's take our calm hearts overhead.
[8:00]
Head.
[8:02]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[8:08]
Excellent.
[8:09]
Calm breathing, calm hearts.
[8:11]
So let's do our side bends.
[8:15]
Sit up nice and tall.
[8:17]
Easy pose.
[8:18]
Hands on two shoulders.
[8:19]
We're going to say calm.
[8:22]
Hearts have empathy.
[8:27]
Empathy.
[8:28]
Hmm?
[8:29]
We think about how others feel and we're
[8:31]
kind to them.
[8:32]
Here we go.
[8:34]
It's just a little bit side to side.
[8:37]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[8:43]
Let's say it together.
[8:45]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[8:51]
And again.
[8:51]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[8:59]
Sit extra tall.
[9:01]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[9:06]
Good and hands are down.
[9:09]
Okay, we are going to stand in just
[9:12]
a moment and we are going to move
[9:15]
together.
[9:17]
And let's say our wonderful sentence again.
[9:20]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[9:27]
You ready?
[9:29]
Carefully, let's stand.
[9:34]
And step one, feet are out.
[9:38]
It's not too far.
[9:40]
Feet are still.
[9:42]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[9:47]
Very nice.
[9:48]
Step two, arms go out.
[9:52]
Make room for your neighbour.
[9:53]
Move over.
[9:55]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[9:59]
We're going to move together and say calm
[10:03]
hearts have empathy.
[10:08]
Let's go together.
[10:10]
Touch your leg.
[10:15]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[10:23]
Good.
[10:23]
Again.
[10:26]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[10:35]
Yes, one more.
[10:38]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[10:47]
Very nice.
[10:48]
Let's see those wonderful calm hearts.
[10:50]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[10:55]
Good, everybody.
[10:57]
Hands and arms are down.
[11:00]
Feet are closer.
[11:03]
Have a seat in easy pose.
[11:09]
Good, everybody.
[11:11]
We practise our school meditation.
[11:14]
Remember, Ms. Kelly says it's one of the
[11:16]
best things to practise every day.
[11:19]
I do.
[11:22]
Well, we want to have calm brains that
[11:26]
imagine how people feel, think about how others
[11:31]
feel.
[11:32]
We want to have calm hearts that are
[11:36]
peaceful with others, that show kindness to others.
[11:42]
That means we have empathy and it also
[11:47]
means that we can keep learning.
[11:49]
Our learning is so great with our calm
[11:53]
brain, calm hearts.
[11:57]
Here we go.
[12:38]
You're doing great.
[12:57]
Good, everybody.
[12:58]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[13:04]
And hands are down.
[13:06]
Let's remember Ms. Kelly's story.
[13:10]
When I came home and I left my
[13:17]
shoes by the door in the kitchen, when
[13:20]
I turned back around, what did I see
[13:24]
that was so funny?
[13:28]
Yes, my kitten Freya standing in my shoes.
[13:34]
Kittens don't wear shoes, but oh, pretty wave,
[13:37]
standing in my shoes.
[13:40]
And it made me think of that wonderful
[13:43]
thing we say, imagine standing in someone's shoes.
[13:48]
What does it mean?
[13:49]
What did we say that means?
[13:58]
Yes, we imagine how others are feeling.
[14:04]
And, oh, it's so important.
[14:06]
And we are kind to them.
[14:11]
And it means we have what?
[14:14]
What's the word that starts with an E
[14:17]
when we imagine how others feel and we
[14:21]
show kindness?
[14:26]
Empathy, calm breathing, calm hearts.
[14:30]
Helps us to have empathy.
[14:32]
Everybody, please lift your calm hearts.
[14:34]
If you're going to think about how others
[14:36]
feel, imagine how they feel today and show
[14:38]
them kindness.
[14:40]
You can do it.
[14:42]
All right, that's how we have our great
[14:45]
learning.
[14:46]
Let's end our class.
[14:48]
Calm breath in, calm breath out.
[14:52]
And calm breath in.
[14:55]
Smiling, calm hearts.
[14:59]
Thank you, everybody.
[15:02]
We practise our calm breathing, calm hearts every
[15:05]
day.
[15:07]
Smiling, calm hearts open our learning.
[15:12]
See you soon.

[1:43]
You know, what about having empathy for our
[1:47]
lunch staff, the wonderful people that help us
[1:51]
to have lunch every day.
[1:53]
When we go through the lunch line, can
[1:55]
we imagine how they feel, how hard they're
[1:58]
working, and they want us to eat healthy?
[2:00]
And can we show kindness to them?
[2:02]
Oh, yes, we can.
[2:05]
Well, we can look around and we can
[2:07]
see there's so many wonderful people that we
[2:12]
can have empathy for.
[2:14]
Yes, we can even have empathy for our
[2:17]
pets.
[2:19]
Freya standing in my shoes.
[2:22]
I always imagine how Freya feels.
[2:26]
And I show her as much kindness as
[2:28]
possible.
[2:29]
I have empathy for Freya.
[2:31]
All right, everybody.
