Hey Team. Wow what a year it has been so far, full of amazing sporting, academic and cultural activities and now our compulsory break from school.

 All fun and games for students for 3 days until reality kicks in and you run out of things to do while keeping in your bubble isn’t it ? But don’t worry everything will be back to normal before you know it. Here are some ideas for the next two weeks until holidays are over and school work is back in action.

1. Help out around the house or wherever you are staying during the lockdown period. Everyone is in the same boat as you and don’t want to be the person who acts like a dirty melon and doesn’t contribute.

2. Keep the good banter up, there is nothing better than banter with anyone you can find to keep the good spirits up.

3. Be creative with whatever resources you can find, cut out the inside of that old book and turn it into a place to hide stuff, make a gym using rocks, buckets filled with dirt and anything you can find and even build a fort in the lounge because why not.

4. Dig around In the cupboards and find your old LEGO or hot wheels cars or whatever there is to find and start peeling back all the old toys and board games that you find.

5. Keep fit, make a fitness program which includes push-ups, squats, sit-ups, burpees and whatever you want, or even just simply go for a run, but remember all the social and physical distancing rules. Because there is nothing better and more fun than keeping fit and it is essential to keep healthy both mentally and physically.

6. And shop normally, no you are not going to run out of toilet paper or soap, there will be plenty at the shops if you shop normally, there is no need to panic buy, especially toilet paper unless you are planning to take 5 times as much coils a day.

Those are some hopefully helpful tips to help full in all your spare time while keeping safe and healthy inside your bubble.

Look forward to seeing you all soon!
