🪼🐠New Class Leader 🧜‍♀️ 🐙 - Meet Becki

I’m a marine scientist, illustrator and educator with a deep love for the sea and the stories it holds. I’m especially passionate about helping children and families explore coastal life in a way that feels curious, creative, and grounded in real science, without being overly “school-like”.

I love teaching through observation, art, and gentle investigation, encouraging people to slow down, notice more, and build a meaningful connection with the natural world.

My work is rooted in UK marine science, sustainable seafood and intertidal ecology.

The Elemental House wishes you a very Happy Easter!

Those of you that do not celebrate, we wish you a happy & restful Sunday.

We are partnering with WUKA to better understand how we can support autistic girls when it comes to periods, and we need your help!

If you’re a parent or carer of an autistic girl in the UK, this short survey is your chance to shape:

- Better period products
- How schools support autistic girls
- The kind of support families actually need

The experiences you live every day are exactly the insight we need to make meaningful change.
Deadline: 7th April
Take the survey via the link in the comments.

If this isn’t you, please share, one repost could help reach the parent whose voice makes all the difference.
