First, read an article about summer bucket lists. | thought it was
‘a.cool idea so | decided to give ta try. | searched online for some
citferent ideas. then put together alist of my top twenty things todo.
Here are a few of the ones I di.
I had a picnic at the beach with some friends. As a small child, 'd done
it with my family but this was different. We ate sandwiches and snacks
that we'd taken with us, then we swam in the sea. 2
hadn't made one for a long time. It was fun.
My friends and 1 a'so went camping ... in my back garden! In the
‘evening we had a water fight - also on my list. We got really wet but
{twas funny. Then we got into the tent and played loads of old board
‘games which my dad had foundin the attic.»
But playing them reminded me of being younger.
‘Another thing | did was have a movie marathon. I watched films all day
in my bedroom, one after the OtMeh. 4.0mm They Were all classic
films. My parents had recommended them, or rather, told me to watch
them! Some were better than others but a couple of them were briliant.
[finally saw the orginal Star Wars film too.
1'd done all twenty things on my list Before | went back to school. I'd
also done things that | hadn't planned. | felt proud of mysolf. The list
helped me to make the most of my summer holidays. >

to set aims and achieve them by working hard at school.
This is something we need to be able to do in every single
area of our lives ~ at work and at home.
There are, of course, many real-world skills that we
don't always learn at school, We don't learn how to sew
a button onto a shirt, change a tyre or pay an electricity
bill. We do learn maths that only afew of us will actually
use in the outside world. sit therefore a good idea for us|
to develop more everyday abilities while still in education
and leave some of the advanced subjects to

Families are responsible for teaching
real-world skills, too. In fact,
‘our parents have a lot more
‘opportunities to teach us everyday
skills around the home than schools
do, We might not always be glad of
this, but our parents can teach us
things that they learnt from their own
parents. 've learnt how to cook some
