Gratitude

We are so Grateful to be a stones throw away from paradise !  We set off down to the beach to dial up our creativity in the sea air.  We discovered some black sand and lots of what looked like volcanic rock.  As natural explorers,  this peaked our curiosity and we were left with so many questions !  We also worked well in teams to dig as deep as we could.  The deeper we were able to dig the more the sand changed. 

We have been learning to express our Gratitude in all kinds of ways over the last few weeks. It is so easy to take things for granted and miss the beauty in the ordinary. We want our kids not to just expect things but be genuinely thankful.

We made some cubes with different gratitude prompts on them to help us notice the wonder in our world. The first step for us has been learning to notice and observe everything then unpacking how things make us feel. The beach was a great example of how our kids really look carefully and explore their environment. For some that looked like collecting shells and rocks. For some it looked like jumping in the sandy puddles they had made and some were able to find little treasures to add to their tiny castles.

It was such an easy exercise with great benefits for our Positive Health and Wellbeing.

We hope you have lots of time and space to find the beauty all around you this summer.
