We currently do not follow an approach but as my change project has been to create an outdoors classroom with the aim that the indoors and outdoors are seen as one I may investigate into further particular approach further, I feel I needed a garden before an approach. Whilst I feel I need to investigate into a few approaches I researched Forest Schools, I particular like the ‘hands-on learning experiences’ phrase which is used by Jon Cree (chair of FSA) which links to my setting ethos. On completion of this change project and the renovations complete I will use the new development matters or birth to 5 matters (which ever we decide as a setting to use) to run an outdoors provision alongside. Looking forward to September!

What a lovely article! I’ve noted from the first paragraph ‘A second Study, spaces to play, adapted the Mosaic approach to listen to young children about their outdoor environment’ for my change project.

I believe we as a setting listen to the children well by allowing them to haver the opportunity to speak verbally and be listened too uninterrupted, its especially nice to see when staff use SST to further the conversation as we never know where it may lead. Not only do we listen to the children verbally to listen to them by watching their actions. A recent observation; A child drew a picture, collected some masking tape and stuck it to the wall, from that form of communication we now have ‘art pegs’ which is string strung from window lock to window lock with a Polaroid picture of each child pegged on, now the children have the opportunity for their work to be hung and displayed. Due to us being a pack-away setting we had to explain that we can not stick drawings to the wall with tape which led to multiple ‘why’ questions, we explained with the help of British values.

Our circle time duration has increased to due the children’s interests around discussions such as exploring mothers and fathers names, finding out each others surnames, re-calling on the day and digging deeper around one another and feelings. From that we now use what we’ve like about school today and what we’ve not so liked about school. those discussions really give children the opportunity to think and reflect on the day. In addition, the children particularly like voting using a tally chart system, for example they like to find out how now another got to school, they have the opportunity to mark their mark and love counting the total and most common on that day.

Hi Amanda, should we upload our activity plan as well as peer observation?

Had some spare wood so we decided to make a 3 tier planting area.
