Mindfulness

Spend 10 minutes each day in a quiet place. Centre yourself - straight spine, soft belly. Make sure you are comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Just like we do in class. Focus on each breath and track it as it goes in and out. Notice your breathing and remember that if your mind wanders, you just silently say ‘wandering’ and bring all your attention back to your breathing.
Let yourself sit, breathe and just ‘be’’.
Doing this each day will help you stay calm, relaxed and peaceful - just like it does in class!

Learning Through Play & Life Skills

Choose an activity from the 42 Challenges sheet in your learning pack. How many can you complete?
Help with the cooking - make a recipe you haven’t done before.
Clean / sort / organise / tidy something - check with someone at home first to make sure you’re allowed to do it!
Weed the garden.
Tidy your bedroom.
Do the laundry - wash, hang out to dry, fold, (iron if you’re allowed or need to) and put the clothes away.

If you want more learning, you could look at the Optional Learning Tasks and Competitions link and give some of those a go.

Let Mrs G know how you get on!
