    Watch your favourite programme or film
    Make somebody laugh or smile
    Do something nice for somebody else
    Visit your favourite place
    Play with your toys

And finally…

Come back to school ready to learn!

Have a lovely Christmas and see you in 2020!

The boy’s mum was so touched she took the photo and posted it online with the message: “The 4-year-old came home with this in his school bag today, yay! No homework until the new year. Whoop whoop! That’s the way it should be.”

Many people on Twitter were happy to hand out praise to the kind wishes from the schoolteacher.
