MATHS Mental Maths - Monday

Memory Book –

WELLNESS ACTIVITY:

Try out this

Gratitude paper

chain. We have so

much to be thankful

for in our lives!

WELL BEING ACTIVITY: I have left this activity in the plan as this is a wellness week

and it might be nice to do it again: Keep a well-being journal for the week. Use a notebook or refill page.

Try to write in your journal at the same time every day, perhaps in

the evening before you go to bed. Yourjournal is personal to you.

There is no right or wrong way to do it.

Each day complete the following activities:

• 3 things I am grateful for

• Today I enjoyed …

• Tomorrow I am looking forward to …

You might like to continue to keep a well-being journal for the

summer. If so, just pick up a notebook in Tesco/Dealz and complete

the above activities each day.

At the end of each week have a think about the bubble

questions:

What did I

learn about

myself?

Did I notice

any patterns in

my behaviour

or feelings?

Did keeping a journal

have an impact on me in

any way?

Visualisations are a lovely,

simple way to

relax and find some peace

in our busy lives.

They are especially helpful

at times when we

are feeling anxious or

weary.

If you do this activity and would like an answer sheet, just let me know!

When I was in 4th class, a

teacher came to the school on

an exchange from Japan. We

all loved her, she was the most

exotic person we had ever

met! We thought she was so

cool! I still remember her

name was Keiko! She taught us

some basic Japanese and

she also did lots of

origami with us.

Origami is the art of making

creations by folding paper.

You might enjoy

making these tulips!

Send me a photo if

you give it a go!

This link gives further

instructions in case

you need them!

The next few pages

contain a selection of

totally optional extra

activities that you might

like to try!

SUDOKU:

Draw this grid on a sheet of

paper. The aim is to put the

numbers 1-9 into each box

in the grid, but consecutive

numbers can’t be placed

side by side.

You can only have one of

each number in the box.

I love listening to music when I am out walking, tidying up, cooking etc so I have left this selection of music up in case you would like to listen to it. Music can be very powerful. In these strange and

challenging times, are you listening to music and if so what songs are you enjoying?

Have a listen to some of my favourites right now!

For some relaxation:

Ed Sheeran – Perfect
