School Holiday Countdown
Holidays mean a break from school routine
If you aren’t already on summer holiday from school its only a matter of days now……
Although it might seem very exciting to have six or seven weeks off school, it can actually be difficult to manage the school holidays for loads of reasons;
Parents or carers may work and you might have to look after younger siblings
You might get easily bored
The weather might be rubbish and you get stuck inside
You could miss school bus catch-up chat time, or lunch and break chats
Some of you might just miss the routine of just going to school.
If you are struggling or need someone to talk to there are Youth Workers across the Wirral in youth clubs and on outreach in local parks and places where you guys might hang out. You could call Response on 0151 666 4123 or Childline on 0800 1111 or you could go on Kooth to speak to a counsellor or just get some support. There is also someone to offer you a friendly ear.
Don’t Be Bored!
So, what can you do to keep busy and stay well and safe? Youth clubs across the Wirral will be running free activities, check out our ‘GET INVOLVED’ section for more details.
Maybe you may have holidays or day trips booked with family, but if not here are some ideas of things to do…. there’s always something to do!
Visit a museum - many museums are free
Tidy and change stuff in your bedroom
Skateboard
Visit the beach and do a mini litter pick (or at the very least don’t leave any more litter!)
Take a picnic to the park
Go on a bike ride - there are projects locally where you can do bike maintenance, learn skills and cycle HYPE Urban Bikes (HUB)

Watch a movie and write a review for the Zillo - at home or at the cinema
Read a book from the library and write a review for Zillo
Write a book or make your own short film

These may seem boring, but a wise person once said
“only a boring person gets bored”.
Just try something new and see what it feels like, if you don’t like it that’s fine at least you gave it a go.
We will post up any feedback we get from your holiday adventures - just email us and let us know what you get up to.
