What really happens in an outdoor classroom, do the children just play?
Children gain a deep sense of connection to self, nature, and community. Free play outdoors allows for more diverse learning styles, increasing confidence, resilience, awareness, and compassion.
Along with social and emotional awareness around inclusion, and cooperation, children will naturally become focused, relaxed, confident and engaged. The outdoors naturally provides an incredible setting for fine and gross motor development, physical health, resilience, and dexterity. Providing hands-on experiences in nature ensures confidence, patients, passion, broad thinking, and planning skills.
Emergent learning provides space for creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills. Activities such as mud kitchen play, shelter building, small group play, loose parts play, gives children an amazing foundation of learning they will take forward in their lives.
