Edward has completed lots of fun-filled nature activities this weekend. He went on a walk around Church Aston, around Newport canal, pond dipping down to the allotments and made his own wildlife pond with some tad poles in a pot for the garden. These are all wonderful ways to connect with nature and look after your mental wellbeing! Well done and thank you for sharing them with us Edward.
Maybe you like the sound of these activities and could give them a try this week?
Esme has had a very rewarding week with her family’s new dog. Esme has spent lots of time helping her to settle in, as well as lots of walks in the park in all weather! Animals are a lovely way to look after our mental wellbeing, particularly if they need walking in the fresh air! Well done for your courage, patience and care, Esme!
More nature inspired activities for mental health awareness week! Abigail looks like she is having a lovely time feeding the ducklings. Thanks for sharing, Abigail!
Well done to Faye and Logan for doing some super activities to look after their mental wellbeing. They have enjoyed lots of mental health awareness activities whilst listening to the birds and rain outside. They also did feelings jenga, feelings word searches, emoji throwing and strengths bingo. What great ideas!
Well done Isaac for your relaxing cloud spotting, lying on the ground spotting the shapes and looking at the moving clouds. What a lovely way to look after your mental wellbeing!
Next time we have a nice day, why not try this?
Children have been discussing and sharing ideas for how to connect with nature to celebrate mental health awareness week. I have set all children a challenge to do something over the next week to support their wellbeing linked to nature. The classes who impress me the most with their nature-inspired wellbeing activities will earn some bonus break time! Ideas include walks, bike rides, feeding ducks, nature inspired artwork, bird watching, planting or gardening, outside games etc.
Please send any photos to me (megan.hardy@taw.org.uk) and I will happily share them on the school website.

Dear Parents
SWIMMING GALA DATE CHANGE
Due to Year 4 not using the swimming pool this year, the gala dates have been altered until after the children have begun school swimming in the NJS pool. The new dates are:
Monday 21st June – Yr 4 Red and Blue
Monday 28th June – Yr 4 Yellow and Green
This will help staff group children and understand the children’s swimming needs and water confidence.
Many thanks
Year 4 Team
