Mandalas and heart maps

Learning level/s: Years 5 and 6

Focus area/s: Mental health and wellbeing

Description: Creative learning activity where students learnt about the five domains of health and wellbeing (physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual) and designed their own mandalas and/or heart maps based on things that were important to them in the five domains. Students wrote reflectively on their choices and explained how all the things related to their personal understanding of health and wellbeing.

Measures of success: Students can identify the five domains of health and wellbeing; students can identify things of personal importance within the five domains; students can use their understanding of health and wellbeing to design a personal mandala or heart map; students can explain the reasons for their choices.
