Remember We Can\u2019t Cancel The Spring!<\/p>\n

Trees<\/p>\n

At this time of immense change for us it is lovely to see that nature continues on her merry way oblivious to it all. When thinking about a blog I could write I found myself staring out of the window into the distance and realised I was focussing on \u201cMy apple tree\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have watched this tree grow from a sapling into a strong, tall tree which changes throughout the year producing a rich harvest of apples every autumn. I have personally learned so much from the growth of this tree and it set me to thinking of the possibilities of learning opportunities afforded to children that trees and nature can offer.<\/p>\n

Outdoor learning is a part of most of our early years children\u2019s lives and hopefully there will be trees for them to discover.<\/p>\n

Tracking the seasonal change of trees<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Photos and drawings \u2013 children may enjoy taking photos of trees throughout the year or drawing or painting them. Helping the children to be cogniscant and responding to nature impacts on their mental health.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Rich language through talking about the trees – their features and their changes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Investigating the leaves, various barks, flowers, fruits and blossoms.<\/p>\n

Learning about the birds and animals whose homes are in the trees<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Birdwatching<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Looking for squirrels<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Minibeasts living on the leaves and bark<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exploration<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Den building \u2013 under or in the trees<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Tree climbing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Light and shade<\/p>\n

At this time we need our nature prescriptions and even if we can\u2019t get out and about as much, many of the same benefits can be stimulated and triggered from looking from a window.<\/p>\n
