Kade and I loved the Forest Schools workshop hosted by Nature Plays inside the stunning Oranjezicht City Farm (@ozcfarm) on 30th November 2019.
🌳 📚After this great first experience of the Forest Schools system, and what they entail, I am going to explore Kade doing one day less a week at his Montessori school and replacing it with a day at a forest school instead.
My reasons behind wanting to do this for Kade include the following:
- Conventional classroom learning can be stifling, especially in mainstream schools.
- Letting your child be free as much as possible in nature can teach them so many wonderful things including how amazing nature is, how we humans need a healthy environment to thrive ourselves and to work as a team and accept other points of view on the world – all of which are vital skills needed when they become an adult.
If you want more information about Forest Schooling and how to apply it into your homeschooling schedule or to learn about fitting it into a schedule where your child already goes to school, reach out to Pamela *founder of Nature Plays SA on the following link: contact Nature Plays.
