Body Bright

Butterfly Body Bright is a strength-based, evidence-informed body image program developed by Butterfly Foundation. 

Designed to be integrated into Australian primary schools, it provides resources and support to teachers and their broader school community. The program aims to promote healthy attitudes and behaviours towards the body, eating and physical activity in children, so they can thrive at school and in life. - https://www.butterflybodybright.org.au/

We have begun our weekly sessions with the Grade 5 girls! These sessions are to provide this group a safe space to share how they are feeling, share their opinions and ask any questions they may have. 

Last week we focussed on positive self-image and self-care. We listened to different songs from famous artists and delved into what the lyrics meant. We discussed the negative bias, where we focus on the negative aspects of ourselves and how we need to make a conscious effort to focus on the positive! The students and staff then identified what they love about themselves. This could include how we love our legs and lungs as they allow us to run, or our fingers and hands to play the piano, or our brain to allow us to learn.

We finished the session by looking after our skin with some face masks! It was a lovely session.
