This Semester Year 7s have participated in the Play Humour and Fun unit in Wellbeing as part of the focus on Engagement.
Play Humour and Fun can open the mind to learning. Humour can relieve stress and counteract physiological responses to anxiety. Play allows for safe failure – FAIL = First Attempt At Learning!
Teachers can employ a sense of playfulness to nurture students’ curiosity, creativity, courage and kindness. Students learnt about the benefits of laughing at themselves by sharing baby photos, using humour scales and the 7 habits of humour.
