Outdoor Time- A walk on the wild side!
As part of our learning to support Children's Mental Health week we started the week with a walk in the woods to boost our mood and improve our physical and mental wellbeing.
Spending time in green space or bringing nature into our everyday life can benefit both our mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects. It can:
- improve our mood
- reduce feelings of stress or anger
- help you take time out and feel more relaxed
- improve our physical health
- improve our confidence and self esteem
- help us be more active
- help us meet and get to know new people
- connect us to our local community
- reduce loneliness
- help us to feel more connected to nature
We all enjoyed walking quietly, listening to the birds and the water trickling in the stream. We also enjoyed watching a squirrel playing in the tree, a robin taking a bath and watching droplets of water making ripples in a puddle. We all had a relaxing time.
