Always be kind to yourself:

  • Keeping active – dance around the house; ride your bike; go for a walk; play a sport; try Deanes School Sports Partnership – to keep active!
  • Getting outside – in the garden or the park; breath in the air, enjoy the sun or rain.
  • Being creative – when did you last bake some biscuits? Why not make something creative out of your recycling? Write someone you care for a poem.
  • Being mindful – try mindful colouring, yoga (try Cosmic Kids Yoga), meditations (all can be found on this page)
