Lichamelijke activiteit
Kinderen hebben volop mogelijkheden om op een gezonde manier risico's te nemen en te spelen met natuurlijke materialen. We bieden slacklines en hindernisbanen in ninja-stijl aan om het spel te verrijken en behendigheid, evenwicht, enzovoort te bevorderen. We gaan ook wandelen en ondersteunen het bouwen van schuilplaatsen met zeilen, knopen en natuurlijke materialen.
Resting, Dreaming & "Doing Nothing"
We all know the creative magic that happens when we are just 'doing nothing,' especially outside! We furnish students with hammocks, picnic blankets and shelters where they can relax and decompress, daydream and even nap outdoors. We also lead them to start a practice of ‘sit spots’, where one finds a quiet spot to sit and observe the animals, plants, insects, birds, weather, smells, rocks, etc.
Storytelling & Reflection
At the end of each day, we reflect on our experiences to deepen learning, by telling the 'story of the day' through a variety of mediums - this could look like spoken sharing in circle with others, painting, song, dance or poetry. We also practice nature journaling, with unique techniques for building natural literacy and keeping records of our experiences and explorations.
