On Friday 16th October we watched a short animated version of the story ‘The Promise’ by Nicola Davies (see link below)

We used the video to prompt lots of discussion and art work around the idea of ‘green spaces’ and the many benefits they have.
We have learnt how spending time in green spaces can improve your physical health and your general wellbeing.
Year 1 have described green spaces as being: calm, beautiful, peaceful and natural. They also said that visiting parks, forests and other green spaces makes them feel; happy, calm, chilled and relaxed.
We have worked together to make collage leaves and flowers to make our own ‘green space’ in the Year 1 corridor.
We linked our learning to conversations about climate action and Global Goals. Visit https://www.globalgoals.org/ to find out more about the goals.
