Forest School and Outdoor Learning in the Early Years

A really fascinating read, which is supported with lots of case studies and links to other learning aprroaches. The case studies cover a range of ages which is also interesting. Some of the discussion points are really good for engaging students in thinking about the topic and I will be enbeddging these within my lessons.

For those who want to really engage with this philosophy and understand its origins this text helps practitioners and students alike to either implement aspects or fully embrace its message. A fascinating read.

It is always good to see a book by Sara Knight. So many of our students are interested in this area and I am sure our new students will find this text helpful.

I found this to be a very accessible text that combines theory with practical examples and case studies. It will provide a strong introduction to the ethos of forest schools to those students who are new to Early Years and childcare. It will also support trainee teachers who are practitioners, to reflect on and improve opportunities for outdoor learning in their settings. I will be including this text as 'recommended reading' on the Early Years Teacher status programme.

Another excellent book from Sara. Recommended on 3 courses last year.

Excellent material. Clearly structured and organised. Up-to-date references. Discussion points are very useful.

This is an easy book to read which gives a good overview of forest schools. The chapter working with parents and carers is invaluable.

Excellent text for those outdoor learning modules. A great example of clear concise text for all levels

A very good book which focuses on Forest School and outdoor learning in the early years. I would recommend this book to students who are keen on learning more about using the outdoors as a learning resource for children in the early years.

All students working with children should read this book
