Olivebank Child and family centre recently hosted a forest kindergarten. Apart from it being a great experience for the children involved it also provided experiential learning for staff on a short training course with Aline Hill and Ros Marshall on nature play & nurture. The video gives staff experience of the forest kindergarten.
Aine & Ross talk about an early session
Staff talk about effect on the childrens use of language
Staff member talks about effect on behaviour
Staff talk about impat of sessions on Olivebabk children and staff
A very useful set of videos.
I’m currently writing up a set of “Woods for Learning” case studies which include 4 pre-school ones which may be of interest once their out. One example from Aberdeen City is about Nurture Groups outside in woods.
Hi Juliet
Thanks for that – afraid my editing of the clips is a bit raw.
Look forward to seeing the nurture case study – I think I might have met soembody from Aberdeen that was involved in this at a LTS conference a little while back
Cheers
