I dag legede vi med vand i kulden. Vi lavede en lang vandbane med rør og tragter. Vi hoppede i vandpytter og lavede en is-rutsjebane. Vand er altid et hit blandt børn

🔥✨ Wishes, wonder & a little Forest School magic ✨🔥
Last week, our Forest School fire became something truly special. Each child carefully placed their pinecone into the flames, carrying a wish for the new year. As they burned, the different natural coatings transformed the fire into dancing colours – a beautiful reminder that every child’s hopes and ideas are unique.

Children in Northern Ireland spend too much time behind walls and screens, and it’s harming their health and wellbeing. Outdoor education is proven to make them happier, healthier, and more engaged. Other countries already do it - our children deserve the same.

From 2021: Guide to the Growing World of #NatureBasedLearning

“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach of us more than we can ever learn from books.”
John Lubbock

Excerpt: "Inspired by the Scandinavian embrace of #OutdoorLearning, the #ForestSchool movement migrated to the UK in the 1990s and has grown strongly ever since. In the US, the first nature-based preschool, the #NewCanaanNatureCenter, opened in 1967 in #Connecticut. The pace of nature-based preschools was gradual until, many say, after the publication of #RichardLouv’s #LastChildInTheWoods in 2005. Soon after, the growth of these schools went wild, experiencing a 25-fold increase over the past decade.

"Around the world, the forest school movement has also been growing strong. Whether you find forest schools in the UK, #BushKindys in #Australia, #waldkindergarten in #Germany or #MoriNoIe in #Japan, forest schools can be found in dozens of countries as parents and caretakers seek out the benefits of nature for their children, particularly for the early childhood years."

Have you seen the new living wall in our Forest School garden? A joint effort between Amy from @ivyandgoldstudio and our Oak children means we can now grow our own herbs for Mrs Murphy to use in her recipes!
