Take your learning into the Forest. The forest is a unique and underused learning space. This one day course will enable teachers to confidently deliver safe outdoor teaching to enable long lasting changes to pupils approach to learning and attitudes to nature. We will spend the day in the forest and focus on deep learning through presenting opportunities to engage in the ecology both individually and collectively. We will explore curricular opportunities (principally in science, English and art) as well as considering risk management and planning. It will be an opportunity to reflect on our understanding of child development and holistic education, and of our personal motivation in being teachers. This course is for teachers of EYFS, KS1 and KS2 of all levels of experience. We will be outside all day. Meet at the entrance to Debden House: IG10 2 NZ.
