As a reflection of last week’s Health Week, please talk with your family or friends about healthy choices. Here are some ideas:
- food choices – do you eat a healthy balanced diet?
- exercise – do you get enough?
- sleep – do you know how much sleep you should have and do you regularly get enough?
- mental health – can you use mindfulness strategies to deal with difficult emotions or situations?
- personal safety – can you keep yourself safe in different situations (in the sun, near water, playing out) and do you know where to go for help or advice?

Learn the words to this song by heart (you don’t have to sing it).
Never Smile at a Crocodile
by Frank Churchill
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there’s always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile!
