In Eco Club this week, we spent time in our new sensory garden, a special space filled with herbs and flowers of many colours, textures and scents. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we reflected on how spending time outdoors can help our mental health and wellbeing. We were reminded that God created a wonderful world for us to enjoy, and that noticing these small but special gifts helps us feel calm, grateful and close to Him.

We explored the different plants by gently rubbing the leaves to smell their unique scents and shared which colours, scents and textures we enjoyed the most.

We reflected on how nature helps us to feel calm, peaceful and thankful to God. We thought about ways we can use the garden to pause, pray and appreciate God’s creation.
