I have a way of remembering how to make your brain FLOURISH. If you incorporate these things every day you will be doing your brain a great favour.
F – food (the right sort at the right time)
L - liquid (the right sort at the right time)
O - oxygen (get a bit of exercise and fresh air)
U - use it (a variety of activities to exercise all parts)
R - relaxation (don’t work too hard!)
I - interest (brains like interesting and new things)
S - sleep (brain learn and practise while asleep)
H - happiness (brains learn better when happy)
Tomorrow you can take the test!!!
