Owen spent the weekend at his nanny and grandad’s caravan and had a brilliant time. He enjoyed an ice cream on the sea front and lots of walks in the sand. Quality time with nanny and Grandad and some sea air was perfect for connecting with nature for mental health awareness week!

Well done Leah for spending some time in nature with your new pets! These are her new guinea pigs, Chocolate and Fudge, chickens and various other garden wildlife which Leah enjoyed photographing over the weekend.

Sam spent the weekend participating in a virtual Cubs pirate camp which involved lots of nature-themed activities. He pitched a tent and slept in it, did a hike taking various photos for a scavenger hunt, built a campfire and cooked on it (s’mores!), made a boat, flags and pirate ballista (catapult), painted a pirate themed stone and hid it on the hike. These are all fantastic ways to look after your mental wellbeing and great ways to have fun in the outdoors! Well done Sam and thanks for sharing.

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!

Look at these beautiful ducklings that Ellie-Mae enjoyed watching during Mental Health Awareness Week. How cute! And perfect for this year’s theme – NATURE. Well done for capturing this moment, Ellie-Mae!
