We are also asking every child every day to:

use some of the mindfulness activities that we have been sharing at school to have some quiet time at home.
carry out a daily act of kindness. This could be making a card for someone, telling someone they love them and why, calling a relative to ask how they are, sharing toys or helping someone else
spend time on chores at home

Email your photos of home learning to [email protected] and we will tweet them!
