Sandymere Week 9 MENTAL HEALTH WEEK

Date: 15th May 2020 @ 11:14am

Hello everyone,

Did you know that this week is Mental Health Week and the theme is KINDNESS? We thought we would share some ideas with you of how you could take part and have some fun in the process.

• Make and write a happiness card to say thank you or show someone you care.
• Help round the house - when the laundry is clean, take one item at a time from the dryer or washing line and take it to the room where it belongs and put it away. If you have to go upstairs you should be puffed out by the end of this one!

• Think about someone who might be lonely at this time and send happy mail to cheer them up. This could be a picture, a poem, a letter etc. and can be sent in the post, emailed etc.

• Make up a new joke and see if you can make your family laugh.

• Invent your own secret code and write kind messages to your family.

• Find out something about your parents or grandparents that you didn’t already know. You could ask some of these questions: • Where did they go to school? • Where was their first job? • Where did they live when you were first born? • What did they do for fun when they were your age? • When they were your age, what job did they want to do?

• Create your own quiet space by making a den.  Ask an adult what sheets you can use. This could link in with your Reading Area challenge.

• Design and make your own board game and play it with your family.

• Snuggle up and spend time with your loved ones. Your family is important and special to you.

• Show some kindness to your postie/delivery people and leave a thank you note by your letter box.

• or maybe you'd like to share a story or two on the theme of Kindness - here are a few we've found for you.

• You may even like to try out our design your dream home task? See files
