Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a good break over the holidays. This time of year Nature Days has less field trips but it is a time to prepare for the new year and plan exciting new projects.

* I am excited to announce that Nature Days has been successful in applying for a National Lottery Community fund award. Through this funding we aim to pilot a project that looks at the impact of progressive outdoor learning, an area I am passionate about. Linking in school teaching to outdoor learning in school grounds, then building on these experiences through field trips and residentials, will be explored with a number of local schools.

* I will also be launching my book, “learning indoors and out in the primary school. An integrated approach. Later this month at a special event in A Swansea school With an opportunity to buy a signed copy, hear about the training program designed alongside the book, and also meet outdoor learning providers who can help you integrate outdoor learning experiences into your school’s offer.

* I will be presenting at various conferences around the country for those who are not local to Swansea so you can purchase a copy of the book and also hear about the frameworks within it. GA conference Bringing geography to life through integrating indoor and outdoor learning.

So if your school has, “developing outdoor learning” in their school development plan, then Nature Days is your one stop shop for demonstration outdoor learning sessions, teacher training and mentorship by an outdoor learning expert and published author. So get in touch.
