Connecting with Nature 

This week’s theme is ‘Connecting with Nature’ and we’re encouraging you to get outside and immerse yourself in nature. Spring is truly spring-ing, can you spot any daffodils when you’re out and about?  

Get inspired by trying this week’s mini challenge: Go out and explore a new green space.  

One way to see more of the natural world is to swap out your usual lift to school or to football club by walking instead.  

Good luck and… go on! Get your steps in!
