🌳🌲🌳I LOVE that we’re all beginning to talk about this – What is Forest School? BUT it’s beginning to blow my mind! DO you think that Forest School should be seen as a form of environmental education OR see it as a child led play based approach? DO you recognise that Forest School has become a product, become commercialised and has been adapted to suit the needs of our education system with many crossovers to outdoor learning? CAN it become a model which has a relationship to the formal learning of the classroom? WHY does it feel that it now represents something that wasn’t intended and that some of us prefer to be recognised simply as delivering a nature centric programme? AND, does it matter? 🤨🤨💚
