...the antidote is to take a few risks...

“First hand experience is perhaps the most important foundation stone in discovering who you really are, and what you might become. Without huge dollops of it, encouraged and nurtured, but rarely directed, we can never become more than the sum of other peoples lives, experienced at second hand…the antidote is to take a few risks, and let the mud squidge through your toes from time to time.”(Tim Smit)

Exploring children’s responses to outdoor spaces.

How do we bring children back to nature?
Exploring children’s responses to outdoor spaces.

This project will give the children an opportunity to explore the outdoor world through interactions; self initiated play and construction of their own learning environments. Getting the children away from, “Adult created” resources and into truly autonomous learning environments. Letting the children make their own decisions about how they interact with the outdoors. As practitioners we will be observing and recording these events and looking at their implications in terms of our planning, assessment and provision relating to the EYF and KUW.

Project Leader: Amy, Woodlands Infants.
