Forest Schools & Outdoor Learning in the Early Years

by Sara Knight

Learning outside the classroom is an essential part of early years education, and this book looks at the opportunities the Forest School experience can offer young children for learning outdoors, and how this fits into the early years curriculum. By offering clear guidance on what the Forest School approach can achieve, and how you can make the learning opportunities happen in your setting, the book shows you how to incorporate good practice into all outdoor play activities.

Really informative introduction to the philosophy of Forest Schools. However, the information and research was a little too focused on the UK to be entirely relevant to my current teaching placement.
