Note to Pupils:
What is Rest?
Rest means taking a break or relaxing. It’s when we stop working or playing for a while to regain our energy.
Importance of Rest
- Energy Recharge: Rest helps us recharge our energy. Just like a battery needs to be charged, our bodies and minds need rest to feel fresh and ready for the day.
- Helps Us Grow: Rest is important for growing taller and getting stronger.
- Keeps Us Healthy: Rest is like a superhero that fights off illnesses. When we rest, our body’s defense system becomes stronger, and it can protect us from getting sick.
- Helps Us Think Better: Rest helps our brains work better. It makes us smarter and helps us learn new things in school.
- Makes Us Happy: Rest makes us feel happy and less grumpy. When we are well-rested, we are in a better mood and can enjoy our day more.
