"Nature is a rich resource for learning and every child has the right to spend time outdoors. In this thoughtful book, Annie day looks beyond nature as a simple resource to acknowledge and embrace it as a fundamental part of early years practice. A sense of place encourage you to give young children immersive experience in nature so that they can learn about, explore and understand the world around them. ‘Narrative’ and case studies uncover the potential richness of our children’s experiences with nature, while the ‘On reflection’ and ‘In practice’ sections invite you to reflect on your current practice and offer practical activities and ideas that you can use straightaway. The tried-and-tested strategies in this book will support children’s wellbeing, resilience and learning journeys through mindfulness, with a focus on learning outdoors and connecting with the world. Whether your setting has just a small patch of earth and sky or a whole meadow for outdoor play, this invaluable guide helps you make the most of the space you have. What’s more, Annie’s infectious enthusiasm for nature will leave you optimistic about our children’s future on this beautiful planet."--Back cover
