Book of the Month
Happy by Nicola Edwards
This lovely book can be read by any age. It tells you about mindfulness and gives you ideas for how to practice it in the real world. It is a great way to slow down and look after yourself.
Stacie Swift Activities
Our wonderful ambassador, artist Stacie Swift, has created this World Teacher Day activity sheet to help you celebrate the amazing adults who teach you!
SHARE YOUR STORIES
We’d love to see what kind things you’ve been up to! If you’d like to share a photo of something kind you have done (for yourself or for someone else) ask a parent or guardian to send it to us.
Self-Kindness tip of the month:
Sometimes life can be quite busy. You can help to quieten down your brain by trying ‘mindfulness’.
This is where you just focus on what is happening around you, slow down and enjoy the little moments that you are in.
Check out our book recommendation this month below, for the perfect read to go with this!
