This year the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week was connecting with nature. The outdoors and our relationship with nature is critical in supporting good mental health.
Year 1, as Healthy Heroes, suggested some different activities that all the classes could do outside and came up with some fantastic ideas.
We had a great time exploring our outdoor environment. Firstly, we went on a bug hunt to find lots of different creatures. We then used the IPads and QR codes to find out more facts about the different insects that we had found. The children also built homes for the different bugs using natural materials, thinking carefully about what the bugs might need. We even created our own natural pictures too.  Well done Year 1.
