Children and Young People

Early Years

This course is aimed at anyone new or developing their outdoor skills, or those who have knowledge and want further inspiration to develop an all year round outdoor practice.

This is a fantastic opportunity to look at how play and learning outdoors links in with the seasons. We will look at different types of play and learning to support child development. We will introduce basic outdoor and woodland skills, simple tools, identifying risks, hazards and benefits to help you starting to develop your own practice in the natural environment.

Winter can often be a challenging time outdoors but we will explore more ideas to develop your confidence and knowledge working with children outdoors in the elements that the great British weather throws at us.

We will be outside whatever the weather. Waterproofs, stout walking boots/welly boots and warm clothing is advised.

This is the second of four standalone sessions offered throughout the academic year, based on the seasons.

To be able to develop and share experiences and activities when working outdoors with children during the winter season.

To extend personal confidence and understanding working outdoors in nature with young children and to be able to cascade this within the setting.

To develop a dynamic risk benefit approach to working outdoors.
