Early Years Play and Communication Lead Becky Poulter-Jewson and Forest School Leader Mindy Pickering, have come together to create the Forest Play Approach! Through a series of outdoor training modules, we aim to develop understanding of the natural environment and how the Forest Play Approach can improve everyday practice, enhance the wellbeing of children and teams, and build educators' confidence in outdoor environments. Our educational practice and research is based in children's deep engagement in play, connection to nature and enabling environments. Through our individual backgrounds we have collaborated to create this workshop with an emphasis on communication and wellbeing in the outdoors for practitioners and children. The cost is £15 per person. Join us at our beautiful Oxstalls site and let's grow together!
