Take time to do what makes your soul happy

Welcome back to school everyone. This week, to ease the back to school pressure, there will be no written homework for any class. Instead we would like everyone to try to have a screen free and relaxing evening after school each evening.
Instead of homework, please pick one thing from the following list to do each day (You can do more than one if you wish!)
Maybe you could keep this list on your fridge and tick off each thing you do. Remember: You can continue to do the things on this list if it makes you happy

Go for a walk- Use your five senses to take in what’s around you
‎Read a short book
Make someone else smile (HINT- try smiling at them)
Help someone prepare food
Draw a picture
Drink a cool glass of water
Smile at five different people today
Walk on the grass in your bare feet
Dance to your favourite song
List TEN things you love
Do some colouring
Make something with playdough or Lego
See if you can find five different plants or trees in your area: ask someone their names
Listen to a story
Eat with your family
Tell someone ONE good thing that happened today
Try a food you’ve never eaten before
Talk to a friend or relative and find out something you didn’t know about them
Listen to some music
Go outside and breathe deeply for FIVE breaths
Do a job to help at home
Pause and keep still for THREE minutes: Sit or lie down and think about your favourite things this summer
