The Other Pandamic: Childrens Mental Health

Concern over children’s mental health was already at an all-time high, and we are now seeing a rapid increase in depression, self-harm, and suicide since COVID-19, even amongst our youngest and healthiest.

The Big Garden Birdwatch
Friday 29th – 31st January 2021 – Your House!
The Big Garden Birdwatch is a time for your children to take have an hour outside or sit in the window and make note of every bird they see outside. The Big Garden Birdwatch runs over 3 days.
Why does the Big Garden Birdwatch take place?
For over 40 years the RSPB have been asking people to count and monitor the birds in their garden. This helps the RSPB to understand how birds are doing each year, the results sent in by the public and schools. The event began in 1979, where researchers wanted to find out the UK’s top 10 most common garden birds.
There are some fantastic FREE resources for you to download https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-teachers/schools-birdwatch/ and
