The Special Nature of the Outdoors in the Early Years (Friday 6 May, 12.30pm)

Julie Mountain and Jan White, Learning Through Landscapes

'Children relate to the outdoors very strongly and it's an excellent environment for their wellbeing, learning and development,' says Jan White.

The seminar aims to help practitioners to 'unlock the special nature of the outdoors' at your nursery. Jan and Julie will provide a number of interactive ways to ensure that your outdoor areas are equipped to enhance learning. You will gain an understanding of why the outdoors is special, what it offers children that the indoors does not, what it is about the outdoor environment that you should capture, and how to ensure that your outdoors area complements indoor learning spaces. 'We know how very effective the outdoors is; we help people improve their provision and plan their curriculum so as to use it most effectively,' says Jan.
