Hello and welcome to The Week Junior show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and Eve from the Week Junior, the magazine Making

Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. Now, in a week where the biggest artist in the music

industry were recognised, the Grammys, and Dame Sarah Malali officially became the Archbishop

of Canterbury, we're going to be talking about some of the other stories that entertained

and interested the Week Junior team.

Make sure you're listening closely because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking a question about what you've heard, and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.

Now, this week's issue of the magazine is celebrating Children's Mental Health Week,

which runs next week from the 9th to the 15th of February.

So the theme this year is This Is My Place, which is all about helping young people to the 15th of February. So the theme this year is,

this is my place, which is all about helping young people to find a sense of belonging.

And it got me thinking, what is your happy place? So Eve, go for it.

I would say, I feel like I've mentioned on the podcast before, I really like playing

the game Dungeons and Dragons. But it's quite hard to find other people that like playing Dungeons and Dragons. It's quite a niche interest. But I have a club that I go to with some of my friends to play it, and I just love it. It's really fun, and I feel like I've made some great friends there. So I'd say that's my happy place. That is a great one. Okay, Joe, how about you? My happy place.

It's quite a simple one.

It's sitting in a cafe on a Saturday morning, having my breakfast and reading the news.

I find it's a really great way to distress after a busy week.

And on a good weekend, I'll have even dragged myself out of bed early enough to have done a park run beforehand.

So I've really earned the breakfast and the chill time. Wow, that's a true journalist at work there, going to read the news on your day off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, never stops, never stops for us at the week, junior. We're always, always on it. Always on. I love that. My happy place is just to be with my friends. I love being around people and my friends make me really happy.
