Abstract | Children are naturally inquisitive and want to explore and investigate; in doing so they make sense of the world around them. Piaget (Pound, 2006) suggests children make sense by themselves, by making choices and taking opportunities. Through exploration and investigation they also make sense of themselves through sensory, firsthand experiences. In doing so, they are making connections and setting out memory pathways and understanding. In this article, Alison Murphy explores how educators can enable children to experience nature in a meaningful way, helping them to make sense of themselves and the world around them. Taking on the role of a Forest School leader, she worked alongside a class teacher, parent volunteer and three student teachers in a Leicestershire primary school that was new to Forest School. A sequence of six sessions took place on Thursday afternoons during the summer term, using a strip of trees along one of the school boundaries, with 19 children aged 5-6 taking part. (ERIC). |
