Fun activities and reminders for COVID-19 from Year 5

As we all know COVID-19 has been impacting us and all our lives. We hope that among these difficult times that you have been coping and doing your best to keep safe. We just wanted to give you some fun activities and reminders during this time. 

Here are some cool activities to keep you occupied during these unusual times. How about completing a puzzle or starting a journal or a blog?  Go outside and exercise, do some yoga or even create an obstacle course and to cool down try meditating. Start a veggie patch, take up knitting, learn how to sing a new song or if you are in an artsy mood draw a picture of your pet. Lastly watch some movies you have avoided until now… you never know they could be amazing and then finally SLEEP IN!

Here are some reminders that are important to follow during this time:

• Wash your hands for twenty seconds with soap and water.
• Always remember when going out, to social distance which means staying 1.5 meters away from people who are not in your family.
• Always remember not to touch your face.
• Lastly it is very important to stay home if you’re not feeling well and make sure not to visit elderly people if you have any flu-like symptoms or have travelled overseas.

We also have some ideas that are important to do during this time. One important thing to remember is to maintain good mental health, as we are not able to visit family and friends. One way we can do this is by contacting family and friends often, via phone or video calls. Another good thing to keep in mind is that you need to exercise often as we are stuck inside most of the time. One more thing that you can do is keep a structured daily routine.

We hope that these reminders, ideas and activities helped you. If we work together to fulfil these reminders, we can stop the spread of COVID-19. We wish you a great Term 2 ahead and hope to see you back at school soon.
