Do you want to create exciting outdoor experiences for children?
Are you looking for guidance on how to incorporate the wilder and
riskier elements of outdoor play into your planning? This book will
give you the confidence to offer the children in your setting
adventurous and challenging outdoor activities, as well as ways to
utilise natural resources to their best advantage. There is clear,
practical advice on what you need to do, which is underpinned by
the theory that supports the benefits of this approach. Examples
from settings are included, to illustrate best practice and to show
how things can be achieved. Issues considered include: - being
outside in 'bad' weather - the importance of risk-taking - the
benefits of rough and tumble play - observing and assessing
children in this mode - how these experiences improve children's
learning - explaining activities to parents, colleagues and
managers - ensuring health and safety requirements are met - the
role of the adult in facilitating these experiences. Suitable for
all students and practitioners working with young children from
Birth to 8 , this book will not only give you ideas for outdoor
play but also help you understand exactly what you are doing, why
it is educationally sound and developmentally important for
children, and where it connects with the Early Years Foundation
Stage (EYFS) in England, the Foundation Phase (FP) in Wales and the
Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland. Sara Knight is an
experienced early years educator and Senior Lecturer at Anglia
Ruskin University. She is a trained Forest School practitioner and
author of Forest Schools and Outdoor Learning in the Early Years.
