We hope all of our pupils will be working through their workbooks whilst you are off school but when you need a break have a look through this list Mrs Baouane has curated for you! 

Boredom-busting activities to do at home

1. Keep a journal. Each day spend 6 minutes writing a response to the following points:
   1. I’m grateful for… (make 3 points)
   2. This is how I’ll make today great…
   3. My good deed today…
   4. How I’ll improve…
   5.  Great things I experienced today… (make 3 points)
2. Stay fit. Joe Wicks 7 days of sweat. Hit link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXmdXilQaqA
3. Photography challenge. Document your time in self isolation in photographs (your mood, what you did, how you felt).
4. Cookery challenge. Look in the cupboards. What do you have? Can you come up with a meal idea from it? Get your adult to help you.  Extra marks for putting together a totally original/mad/weird recipe.
5. Learn a skill from the internet (for example, learn to juggle/ play the guitar/ learn a dance. Hit the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZmmOdnljG4

8. Pick a type of food that you like and grow it. Get the seeds from the fruit or veg and actually grow your food in a pot.  Great way to get some fresh air.
