From Monday 2nd to Friday 13th of March the Dharma Primary School is running a Red Nose ‘Meditation Marathon’, organised by Ocean class teacher Ross!
Ross says: “In the school entrance hall you will find a huge paper measuring jug. We as a school need to fill this with meditation time. The jug is made of squared paper. We will fill a square for every minute you meditate at home. Meditate with a family member and double your time! You can do as much or as little meditating as you like. Below is a table to keep track of your progress. Bring this into school whenever you like and show a teacher. We will then add your meditation to the measuring jug.”
Now for the mathematics! If…
- Sunflower and Dragonfly meditate for 1 minute each day for 10 days…
- Mountain meditate for 5 minutes each day for 10 days…
- Ocean meditate for 10 minutes each day for 10 days…
- Lotus meditate for 15 minutes each day for 10 days…
- Staff meditate for 20 minutes each day for 10 days…
This will result in the school community meditating for 9,430 minutes. That’s nearly 158 hours or around 6 ½ days! Our target is to reach just over that with a minimum of 9,600 squares filled before Friday 13th of March.
