Year Five continued our inquiry into active travel today. We know it's great for our fitness but did you know exercise is one of the secrets to happiness?
Our brain releases endorphins, sometimes known as ‘feel-good’ chemicals, during physical exercise which improve our energy levels, mood and help us to sleep better. When we feel energised, happy and have had plenty of sleep our self-confidence increases and our resilience improves when faced with challenges.
We read about the science behind excercise and mental well being then went on our own mood boosting brisk walk in nature.
Lastly we designed stickers to encourage children to get out and active.
