Happy new year and welcome to 2025!
We hope you feel (somewhat) rested and ready to go for the busy term ahead.
This month especially might be stressful for many of you with coursework, exams and related deadlines.
With that in mind, please remember to #TakeABreak.
You’ll be reading, writing and revising with great intensity, which means you’ll be in need of a time-out: a distraction, something to divert your attention.
It could be going outside for some fresh air, watching a movie or taking the dog for a walk.
But, how about a puzzle or colouring-in?
Finding new and different ways to stimulate your brain can boost its performance, reduce stress and help to improve overall mental health.
Over the next few weeks, when you stop to grab a drink or snack, why not pick up a puzzle too? We’ll be distributing some in the Library from Monday 6th January, or you can download them in pdfs. right here, right now:
- Cityscape colouring template – 2025
- Clock colouring template – 2025
- Dot to dot puzzle 1 – 2025
- Dot to dot puzzle 2 – 2025
- Riddle 2025.
And look out for other top-tips and suggestions from us over the next few weeks on things you can do to divert your mind and help recharge yourself.
Best of luck, and happy break-taking!
