What activities can I do?

- Yoga, walking, gardening, dancing, skipping or anything else you can think of. Let us know what your doing to stay active by emailing your year group email address. Good luck!

Gratitude

Each day, spend six minutes writing about the following: three things you are grateful for, how you plan to make today great, a good deed you will do that day, how you plan to improve yourself and, at the end of it, some great things you experienced that day.

Your mind matters!

Top tips to look after your emotional well-being:

1. Stay connected with your school. (Email us at your year group email,we look forward to hearing from you)

2. Talk about your worries. (Family members, teachers or mentors)

3. Look after your body. (Eat well, exercise and sleep well)

4. Manage your feelings. (Mindfulness to help you cope)

5. Use trustworthy sources such as GOV.UK or the NHS website for updates on coronavirus. Not everything you find online is a trustworthy resource!

6. Carry on doing things you enjoy! (At home e.g. reading, gardening or cooking with adult support)

7. Take time to relax. (It is ok to stop everything you are doing when you feel overwhelmed, take time to relax and refresh)

8. Keep your mind active. (Jigsaws, word searches or crosswords can help)
