Get Outdoors!

We love outdoor learning at Hathern. Instead of being penned up in house, get outside and do something that uses all of your senses.

Looking after your mental wellbeing
Understandably, you may find that social distancing can be boring or frustrating. You may find your mood and feelings are affected and you may feel low, worried or have problems sleeping and you might miss being outside with other people.
At times like these, it can be easy to fall into unhealthy patterns of behaviour which in turn can make you feel worse. There are simple things you can do that may help, to stay mentally and physically active during this time such as:

look for ideas of exercises you can do at home on the NHS website
spend time doing things you enjoy – this might include reading, cooking, other indoor hobbies or listening to the radio or watching TV programmes
try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, drink enough water and try to avoid smoking, alcohol and drugs
keep your windows open to let in fresh air, get some natural sunlight if you can, or get outside into the garden

You can also go for a walk or exercise outdoors if you stay more than 2 metres from others.

Some interesting things to do on the Wild Network website designed to make you (us) appreciate being outdoors! Have a Wild Time learning!

There are many other fantastic wildlife based activities to get involved with as well. Click on the butterfly above!

The Field Studies Council (FSC) will be leading 45 minute hands-on fieldwork sessions - looking at the wildlife in your back garden!

Booking is required (get mum or dad to provide their email) for each session and you may need to gather a few things take part in the activities.

All this lovely sunny weather has brought the bees out to play! There are loads of different species in the UK, how many of these have you seen buzzing around your garden?
