Mental Health Week

This week 10th May - 16th May is Mental Health Week and the theme is ‘Connecting to Nature.' All year groups will be doing activities around this theme

Connecting with nature is not just about the amount of time we spend outdoors; it is also about building a relationship with nature by noticing and becoming sensitive to what is around us. We use our senses to do this– such as noticing the different cloud shapes in the sky, smelling the scents of flowers and listening to the birds chirping in the trees. 

Encouraging your child or young person to build in opportunities to connect with nature in everyday life can improve both the health of their bodies and their minds.
