What is happening in this picture Do you

What is happening in this picture? • Do you have any plans for the summer break? • What do you think about the new ‘air bridges’? • Do you think allowing travel is a good idea? • Why do you think people take holidays? • Do you think it’s important for people to have a break? • Do you need to travel to have a holiday?

Reflection. . . Do you think you need to take a long journey to have a holiday? For some people, holidays can be a chance to escape from everyday pressures in our lives. For others, a rest from work and having the time to do things they enjoy is just the break they need. We are all different and have different ways to relax. Life is like a long journey. We go through different seasons and stages, and some are more enjoyable than others. Our feelings change as our circumstances change. And as we travel the journey of life, we change too. Take a moment to think about how you are feeling in this stage of your journey and where you are going next.
