‘When I was a boy, my daddy sat me on his knee and he told me, he told me many things. And he said “Son, there’s a lot of things in this world that you’re going to have no use for. But when you’re down on your luck… instagram.com/p/CBAqqJ-HKG7/…
Totnes under lockdown. Densely packing in a treasure trove of inspiration, past, present and future. Pic 1. You can pick out the castle, st Mary’s church, civic hall solar array, chimney of Atmos, river Dart,… instagram.com/p/CAlT-bPHmD-/… – at Totnes, England
One of the most haunted castles in the country apparently. Really? We had to find out. Now we have the evidence to prove it’s true! (You need the sound for full effect) #berrypomeroycastle #ghosts #hauntedcastle… instagram.com/p/B-_sUYWn4Ju/… – at South West, England

We made a crossbow! Crossbows are cool but they were more expensive than bows. And they took longer to load which is being demonstrated here. Real ones would shoot further than this too! This was made out of pencils… instagram.com/p/B--lzkwHcyu/… – at South West, England
Home educating and daily exercise combined! How did castles change from the Norman Invasion to 16th Century? A tough task for a 12 year old who can’t sit still and who has a four year old brother providing every… instagram.com/p/B--YyWUnCs3/… – at Totnes, England

Big respect to the teachers from Brockwood school. If you want to run a study programme on global issues then this would be hard to beat, with elements impossible to plan for. They’re staying at Landmatters… instagram.com/p/B9r_T94nPNf/… – at Totnes, England
Calm. Relax. It’s all OK. Resilience is at the centre of our purpose and our work. Right now we’re getting a good taste of our own medicine. The French government imposed a total ban on all school travel on Monday,… instagram.com/p/B9T5BI8H16G/…

Bravery Bravado. Nurture one , challenge the other. We’ll need to be brave if we’re to create a sustainable society based on positive mental health.
“If you need to be brave, reduce uncertainty. Build confidence and self-efficacy. Avoid ruminating on things outside your control. Fail well: everyone fails on the way to success. Be a role model even if you don’t feel brave yourself” - Prof Emma Barrett on Bravery #AdventureMind
