The Great Outdoors

This training challenges the viewpoint that a natural outdoor environment with a wealth of experiences cannot be offered in certain settings. We look at nature’s language and how certain words are disappearing from our children’s vocabulary. We assess the risks versus the benefits of learning experiences within our nurseries as well as look at how we can dynamically risk assess to consider the individual and environmental risks. Through discussion and interactive experiences we consider how - as practitioners - we can be effective educators and how we can avoid hindering the learning process.
