Morning Meetings

“Morning meetings are an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community and set children up for success both socially and academically.” (Responsive Classroom). Morning Meetings are made up of four parts; greeting, sharing, group activity and morning message. 

Whether it’s enjoying a quiet moment reading in our library, getting active on our trampoline, or stretching out on our exercise balls, our break areas offer something for everyone. We believe that these spaces are essential for fostering a healthy, happy, and well-rounded school experience.

We are seeing very positive results here in Murhur National School as a result of Morning Meetings in the Senior Class. The children are building relationships within their class. They are also intrinsically motivated to learn as their day starts on such a positive, fun, connected note.

The academic benefits of morning meetings include:

  • Speaking and listening skills
  • Social-emotional skills
  • Oral Language development
  • Problem-solving
  • Asking and answering questions
  • Social skills
