chunks: Apples, raisins, bread, hard cheese,

1. Thread each piece of food onto the wire – just
like a kebab. 2. make a circle with the
wire or string 3. Use a new piece of
wire to hang the kebab somewhere birds can come and feed from it 4. Watch out for birds
flocking to feast on your kebab
Now it’s time to listen and keep your eyes
peeled for any feathered friends stopping by!

Breathing Ball
Stand or sit with legs and feet together. Bring your palms together in front of
your chest. Keep your fingertips together as you
pull your palms apart, forming a ball with your
fingers. Press your finger-tips together until you feel the muscles in your hands and arms activating. See if you feel your core tighten too. Now close your eyes
and as you breathe in, inflate your ball and as
you breathe out, flatten the ball by pushing your palms together. (Then
repeat these instructions for 60 seconds).
Showing Gratitude
Nothing beats the person-al touch of a hand-written thank you note. Your chil-dren can write thank you notes to anyone they feel is helping them stay safe by working through these
challenging times. So brighten up someone's
day and show your appre-ciation for their selfless
dedication.
Don’t forget to clap for all keyworkers every Thurs-
day evening at 8pm.
