Letters have been emailed out re 30 Days Wild. This is run by The Wildlife Trusts and as a school this is the 3rd year we have taken part.
There are 30 activities for you to partake in – one for each day during the month of June.
Below are the first 10 activities and I will post more as we go through June –
GO ON A SENSORY ADVENTURE – make it a mission to find one thing in nature you can see, hear, touch and smell.
. FIND A SPIKY LEAF – feel different textured leaves. Is it smooth and soft against your skin or rough and spiky?
. SMELL WILDFLOWERS AND HERBS – enjoy the delicate aroma of summer flowers and herbs.
. LISTEN TO WILD SOUNDS – can you hear bird song, crickets in the grass, buzzing bees or wind in the trees?
. HUG A TREE – trees give us clean air and store carbon, helping with climate change – we need to remember to love them back!
. WILDLIFE MEDITATION – take 10 minutes of mindfulness in nature – breathing exercises are encouraged!
. PLAY AN OUTDOOR GAME – think stuck in the mud, hide and seek or even a game of rounders.
. HAVE A PICNIC – enjoy a meal outdoors.
. TREASURE HUNT – create a list of things you want to find on a treasure hunt and head out for an hour to see how much you can cross off.
. MAKE A SPLASH – no sunshine? no problem! Splash in a puddle and shake your hips or arms in a rain shower.
Post any photos on Facebook or email them to school.
Happy wilding 😊
