Newsround Comment
Campaigners are calling for more wild-life rich and green spaces to be created close to where people live. Read the article linked below and then discuss and answer the following question:
Why might parks and green spaces be important for people's health and happiness?
Think about how spending time outdoors in nature can help you feel happy, calm, healthy and active. Can you think of a time when being in a park or green space made you feel good?
I think parks and green spaces are important because the plants and greenery helps you breath. Parks can be stress relieving, fun and beautiful. An allotment, garden or even a balcony is a great way to go outside. Parks can be amazing for your health, fresh air is what doctors say to enjoy if you get sick and sometimes you can get better from it.
Alma (Year 5)
I go to Spa Park with my family to jog and use the exercise equipment so we can keep fit and healthy. Afterwards we then go and play football and play in the park. Parks and trees are important for a clearer air to breathe. Growing up I use to go for short walks in a woodland area which I use to enjoy.
