MJS Recommended Daily Routine for Students
1. Wake up early in the morning
Set an alarm and ask your child to wake up early in the morning. Benefits of waking up early include:
· more energy during morning classes or lectures.
· improved focus and concentration.
2. Exercise daily
Any type of exercise will increase energy levels and provide focus, especially if done first thing in the morning. Regular exercise promotes:
· better digestion and increases metabolism.
· motor skill development e.g. balance/coordination.
3. Prepare well for the school day
Re-reading homework and preparing for the school day ahead is a great way to start the day. This preparation helps to:
· give your child more time to understand complex subjects.
· focus your child on the day ahead.
4. Have a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Too much junk food like potato chips, sweets or sugar-filled meals can cause excessive weight and poor concentration. A healthy, well-balanced diet filled with fruit and vegetables aids overall developmental processes and can improve your child’s temperament. The benefits include:
· improved immunity and brain development.
· reduced tiredness, more energy.
· development of better food choices resulting in longer term better health.
5. Study Maths multiplication tables every day
Learning multiplication tables is essential for building a solid foundation for mathematics. At Milton Junior School, we recommend multiplication tables 1-20 for excellent performance in class. The benefits of daily maths revision include:
· better recall for mental arithmetic.
· improved speed of maths calculations.
6. Complete homework on time
We encourage parents to monitor homework to ensure it is completed in full, on a daily basis. The benefits of completing homework on time are:
· improved discipline and punctuality.
· enhanced understanding of the subject.
7. Keep bedroom clean and tidy
Children should keep their rooms clean and tidy and organize their belongings. Help your children to create good habits by encouraging them to arrange their clothes, books, and toys in the same place at the end of each day. This simple daily routine leads to:
· improved confidence and self-esteem.
· better concentration and focus.
· Improvements in productivity and better mood.
