The Y2 children have been getting their hands dirty and doing some gardening during our Community Learning. We have been planting different herbs and vegetables that we can hopefully harvest later to use in our cooking sessions. Children have been using their Character Strengths of kindness, curiosity and appreciation of beauty, understanding that we also have a responsibility to look after nature and our environment. It’s really brought about a sense of calmness and connection to nature, allowing the children to be mindful and in the moment. There is so much research showing a direct link between gardening, and our health and wellbeing. This indoor gardening space has brought visible wellbeing not only to the children but the teachers and parents as well.
