Outdoor learning 'boosts children's development'

Post by Guest55 »

Very interesting report - there has been a focus on 'Forest Schools' and 'Learning outside the classroom' in Bucks so it's good to see the benefit is recognised again.

I attribute my children's academic success to the fact that I never allowed them indoors from birth to 11. Well almost never.

And I am only half joking.

At work outdoor play is favourite of children and staff. So many opportunities to learn and experiment.
