INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS ACCESSING WORK VIA SHAREPOINT

Dear students, We hope you are safe and well at home. During times like these, a daily routine is vital to keep a fit and healthy body and mind. Below are some useful tips that you could organise into a daily timetable to keep yourself organised and active.

1. Go to bed and wake up at reasonable times. You should be getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night and hours before midnight are more important than hours after midnight.
2. Stick to three routine meals a day with healthy, low fat snacks in between. Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary drinks.
3. Participate in exercise each day. HIIT workouts are good if you are at home as they require little space of equipment and suggestions can be found online. Yoga and pilates are also beneficial workout sessions.
4. Help out with chores around the house. This will support your family during these challenging times, and it will also provide you will knowledge and skills that will be important when you grow up and move out of your family home.
5. Keep learning! You will return to school at some point and you do not want to have fallen behind due to a lengthy absence from school. Staff have, and will continue to upload work onto Sharepoint for you to complete. They are also signposting many online programmes which will be helpful for you to build and test your knowledge, as well as practice important skills.
