The Breathing Studio

Oh, how my heart burns. My Bude-iful Boy.

Some of life's simple but stunning pleasures

A busy week ended with a visit to the Childcare and Education Expo at Olympia on Saturday. I saw a fab presentation from Carol Murdoch of Love Outdoor Learning. Carol shared how she helps schools who have no green space to get children outside and make the most of their tarmac/concrete surfaces to integrate play and curriculum learning. It was inspiring and very much in contrast to my previous day of inspiration in the lush green spaces of Devon.

I also had good chats with SEND and Autism organisations on how we might collaborate.

Great to see Outdoor Learning thriving in all areas of the United Kingdom.

I had a really uplifting and a day full of learning at the Mount Kelly Nature Education Conference in Tavistock on Friday. it was fantastic to hear how Mount Kelly and many wonderful partners are promoting biodiversity, conservation, sustainability and the educational and wellbeing benefits of nature.
Also. very excited to see when the Natural History GCSE is anticipated to hit the road.
A wonderful and inspiring day...thank you to Mount Kelly and Katy Kelly in particular, plus all the amazing presenters and delegates.

I met some interesting characters at the London Book Fair today!

My first London Book Fair... looking forward to a great day

Very excited about attending my first London Book Fair at Olympia 10-12 March. Also, so grateful to Softwood Books for their support. I am looking forward to meeting many other authors and publishing experts.

A really lovely Community Love event was held at the Sutton's Community Your Space on Saturday. I enjoyed talking about my love for nature and reading from my book 'The Forest's Secret.
If you live in the Sutton, Cheam, Rose Hill and Morden area, please do come and see all that Your Space has to offer.

Today. I really enjoyed talking to KS1 pupils at Fernhill School and sharing via The Forest's Secret book, how nature and breathing can help manage feelings of anxiety. We also touched on how trees no matter their age, size, skin/bark colour or native country work and support each other as one community. Fernhill School, thank you for inviting me.
