Hello Everyone,

Instead of our normal learning activities, this week your Home Learning is going to be a Health Week. We have created some fun, healthy activities for you to try out at home. Each day we will post some activities, you don’t need to do them all, but we’d like you try a few each day. We hope you will all enjoying the health and wellbeing focus this week. Remember: your brain works well when your body and mind are healthy!

• Using materials of your choice, create a positive/motivational message. This may be a single word e.g. SMILE using stones. Take a photograph of this and share on Twitter, Email or Blog.
• Are you feeling a little worried just now? This lovely book might help answer some of your questions. It’s called Everybody Worries by Jon Burgerman Everybody Worries
• Make a list of 5 things that make you happy, 4 things that worry you, 3 things that make you laugh, 2 things that make you sad and 1 thing that makes you angry. Discuss these with someone in your house. It’s important to share our emotions.
• We are heading for summer so think about ways to stay safe in the sun and think about a way you can share this information. You could: – make a leaflet – film a television advert – write an information leaflet
• Put away all technology and talk to a family member. What is the best part about being at home? What is the worst part? Talk about any worries you might have.
• If you can, source natural objects like leaves, twigs & stones see if you can arrange them to spell the names of family members or recent common words or make a symmetrical design.
• Concentrate Colouring. Colouring is a good way to help you relax and give your brain a rest. Choose a picture or colouring book and colour within the lines. If you don’t have colouring pages, draw some lines on a sheet of paper to create your own. Listen to your favourite music while you colour.
