What do children gain from a visit to
Children and their carers will be encouraged to explore the natural world through a number of hands on activities. They will be led by an experienced outdoor educator who has an intimate knowledge of the natural history of Epping Forest.
The Early Years Foundation Stage; “Effective practice: outdoor learning” says outdoor learning is important because it:
- supports the development of healthy and active lifestyles;
- offers children opportunities for physical activity, freedom and movement;
- promotes a sense of confidence and well-being;
- provides opportunities for developing harmonious relationships with others, through negotiation,
- taking turns and cooperation;
- supports those children who learn best through activity or movement;
- provides safe and supervised opportunities for children to experience new challenges, assess risk
- and develop the skills to manage difficult situations;
- supports children’s developing creativity and problem-solving skills;
- provides rich opportunities for imagination, inventiveness and resourcefulness;
- gives children contact with the natural world and offers them unique experiences, such as direct contact with the weather and seasons.
