Sufficient sleep, exercise, healthy food, friendship, and peace of mind are necessities, not luxuries (Mark Halperin)

New term, new year but unfortunately the holiday break resulted in a number of teachers getting sick, including me. 

This happens a lot to teachers, as we ease back from all the daily pressures. During term time we just keep going - fighting through the bugs, but when we relax we get clobbered.

Although Mr Halperin appears to be a dodgy character, his quote sets out five key components to keep in mind this term.

They may be easier said than done, but they are the bare necessities.
