Hi everybody, Miss Kelly here.

[0:49]

Let's practise our school yoga together.

[0:53]

We are sitting in easy pose, sitting up

[0:55]

nice and tall, hands together.

[1:02]

I have a story.

[1:04]

Thank you for always giving your best listening.

[1:10]

Well, I got a text on my phone

[1:14]

from my neighbour and my neighbour said, Miss

[1:17]

Kelly, can you help me?

[1:22]

I see a little baby snake in my

[1:28]

watering can that I use for the garden.

[1:33]

It's on my back porch.

[1:36]

I'm so nervous.

[1:38]

A little baby snake.

[1:40]

And I was thinking to myself, but I

[1:45]

don't know how to help with a baby

[1:47]

snake.

[1:48]

I might feel a little bit nervous too.

[1:52]

I don't know if I can help.

[1:55]

But then I said to myself, Miss Kelly,

[1:57]

think, think in the best way here.

[2:00]

You know what you need to do to

[2:02]

help you think in the best way.

[2:05]

So I took a calm breath in and

[2:09]

a calm breath out.

[2:11]

And a calm breath in, calm breath out.

[2:16]

I wanted to have calm heart for myself,

[2:20]

calm heart with my neighbour, calm heart with

[2:22]

the baby snake, calm hearts with everyone.

[2:25]

And I thought to myself, Miss Kelly, you

[2:29]

can do it.

[2:31]

Have courage.

[2:34]

So I sent a message, I will help.

[2:38]

I took a long pole so that I

[2:44]

did not have to get close to the

[2:46]

watering can outside.

[2:48]

And I was thinking I would tip the

[2:50]

watering can over with a long pole and

[2:53]

the little baby snake could go back home.

[2:57]

I got to the back porch of my

[3:00]

neighbour's house.

[3:01]

I started to reach the pole over and

[3:05]

this little face popped up out of the

[3:08]

watering can and baby lizard ran away.

[3:15]

So it was a baby lizard in the

[3:17]

watering can.

[3:18]

And everybody felt much better.

[3:21]

Even the baby lizard.

[3:23]

So everybody, please sit tall with me.

[3:26]

Hands into calm hearts.

[3:28]

When we have our calm breathing, calm hearts,

[3:31]

we can have courage.

[3:35]

Everybody say courage.

[3:38]

Let's go like this.

[3:39]

And let's say courage.

[3:43]

Courage, brave.

[3:47]

Focus.

[3:49]

And helping others.

[3:51]

Yeah.

[3:52]

So we do need to have courage to

[3:56]

open our learning.

[3:58]

We're going to be learning so many new

[3:59]

things.

[4:00]

So let's be brave.

[4:01]

Let's be focused.

[4:03]

Let's have our calm breathing, calm hearts and

[4:06]

courage to learn.

[4:08]

Here we go.

[4:10]

We practised again.

[4:13]

We are awake, we are ready.

[4:16]

Hands into our calm hearts, sitting extra tall.

[4:19]

Calm breath in.

[4:21]

And calm breath out.

[4:24]

Calm breath in.

[4:26]

And calm breath out.

[4:29]

And together.

[4:31]

[4:50]

Sitting tall.

[4:51]

Hands on two knees.

[4:53]

[4:55]

Let's make a circle like a flower growing

[4:58]

in the garden.

[5:00]

Calm breath in.

[5:02]

And calm breath out.

[5:04]

We have to water the flowers with our

[5:06]

watering can.

[5:07]

Calm breath in.

[5:10]

And calm breath out.

[5:12]

Maybe it's a yellow flower.

[5:14]

Calm breath in.

[5:16]

[5:30]

Let's make a circle like a watermelon that

[5:33]

grows in the garden.

[5:34]

That's healthy.

[5:36]

Let's go together.

[5:37]

Calm breath in.

[5:39]

Top of the watermelon.

[5:41]

Calm breath out at the bottom.

[5:44]

And calm breath out.

[5:50]

I saw lots of careful circles.

[5:52]

Calm hearts.

[5:53]

Calm breath in.

[5:55]

And calm breath out.

[5:57]

Easy pose.

[5:58]

Hands on two knees.

[5:59]

Sitting tall.

[6:00]

A circle with our head like a baby

[6:03]

lizard's eyes.

[6:04]

We want to be kind to the baby

[6:06]

lizards.

[6:07]

Yes we do.

[6:08]

Calm breath in.

[6:09]

And calm breath out.

[6:12]

Good everybody.

[6:13]

Opposite way.

[6:15]

Are you making an extra tiny circle?

[6:18]

Oh it's even smaller for our calm brain.

[6:23]

Good everybody.

[6:24]

To the centre.

[6:26]

Calm breath in.

[6:47]

Excellent.

[6:48]

Please sit nice and tall.

[6:49]

We lift our calm hearts full of courage.

[6:55]

Calm breath in.

[6:57]

And calm breath out.

[7:00]

Good everybody.

[7:01]

Easy pose.

[7:03]

And sitting tall.

[7:04]

Hands on two knees.

[7:05]

In our mixing bowl today.

[7:08]

Show me mixing carefully.

[7:11]

Slowly.

[7:13]

Think about vegetables in the garden.

[7:18]

It could be fruits too.

[7:19]

Fruits and vegetables in the garden.

[7:22]

I'll put in the first thing.

[7:25]

Plums.

[7:27]

Raise hand.

[7:28]

Teacher will call on someone.

[7:30]

Healthy.

[7:31]

In the garden.

[7:35]

Good.

[7:36]

Opposite way.

[7:38]

More healthy food growing in the garden.

[7:41]

How about raspberries?

[7:44]

Another healthy food.

[7:45]

Teacher will call on someone.

[7:51]

Good everybody.

[7:52]

To the centre.

[7:55]

Calm breath in.

[7:57]

And calm breath out.

[7:59]

Very nice.

[8:00]

Easy pose.

[8:01]

Sitting tall.

[8:01]

Hands together.

[8:03]

We are going to do warrior pose.

[8:06]

Now what are warriors like?

[8:08]

They are brave.

[8:11]

They are focused.

[8:14]

Do they have courage?

[8:16]

Oh yes, they have courage.

[8:19]

We are not fighting warriors.

[8:21]

No, that's not what we do.

[8:23]

We help.

[8:26]

That's smart.

[8:28]

We are helping warriors with courage.

[8:31]

Okay, so let's imagine we all have on

[8:35]

our warrior suits.

[8:37]

It's the same colour.

[8:38]

What colour are our warrior suits?

[8:41]

Someone please raise hand.

[8:43]

Teacher will call on someone.

[8:44]

Colour of our suits.

[8:50]

Okay, what colour are our warrior calm hearts?

[8:55]

How about light blue?

[8:59]

And of course we are going to be

[9:00]

helping.

[9:02]

Let's help some animals.

[9:03]

How about we help all lizards and baby

[9:07]

snakes?

[9:08]

Okay.

[9:09]

They all have calm hearts, you know.

[9:12]

So everybody, when we are in warrior pose,

[9:16]

we are going to say calm hearts have

[9:21]

courage.

[9:24]

Here we go.

[9:25]

Let's stand.

[9:29]

[11:46]

And hands and arms are down.

[11:49]

Feet are closer.

[11:53]

Have a seat.

[11:54]

Easy pose.

[12:03]

Very good.

[12:06]

And so we will practise our school meditation

[12:09]

every day.

[12:11]

And when we have our calm brains, right,

[12:14]

everybody, we make good choices.

[12:17]

Like having courage to help others.

[12:21]

And we do our school meditation.

[12:26]

So we have our calm hearts.

[12:28]

So we have courage to help others.

[12:32]

Yes.

[12:34]

And you know, with courage, with calm brains,

[12:38]

calm hearts, lots of learning.

[12:43]

So we sit nice and tall.

[12:45]

Eyes stay open, of course.

[12:46]

And we're going to spell calm while we're

[12:51]

remembering our beautiful, shining, calm hearts.

[12:56]

[14:10]

Remembering my story.

[14:14]

What did my neighbour think was in the

[14:20]

watering can?

[14:25]

A baby snake.

[14:27]

Oh, I've never helped a baby snake before,

[14:30]

and I was feeling a little bit nervous,

[14:32]

too.

[14:34]

But I used my calm breath in, calm

[14:39]

breath out, calm hearts to have, what's our

[14:44]

word, to have courage and see if I

[14:50]

could help.

[14:54]

And not even having to tip over the

[14:57]

watering can, what little wonderful fella jumped out

[15:01]

of the watering can and ran away?

[15:03]

A baby lizard.

[15:07]

Okay, so everybody, let's sit nice and tall.

[15:10]

Hands are to calm hearts.

[15:13]

Lift our calm hearts if we're going to

[15:14]

have courage today and learn new things.

[15:18]

Now we can do it.

[15:20]

Lift our calm hearts if we're going to

[15:22]

have courage today and help others.

[15:27]

Yes, we can.

[15:29]

All right, that's how we are learning best,

[15:31]

with courage, with calm breathing, calm hearts.

[15:35]

Let's end our class.

[15:37]

Calm breath in, calm breath out, and calm

[15:43]

breath in.

[15:44]

Sometimes, we feel a little bit nervous to

try something new or to learn something new.

[1:31]

Yes, everybody sometimes feels a little bit nervous.

[1:37]

That is a good time when we're just

[1:40]

a little bit nervous to say, oh, but

[1:44]

I know what can help me here.

[1:47]

My calm breathing, my calm hearts.

[1:53]

Well, we practise it so that we can

[1:56]

use it if we're feeling a little bit
