Just as ready-made meals don’t create great chefs, ready-made environments don’t nurture independent thinkers.\nPlanning is key to creating rich outdoor learning experiences, where children, educators and the environment can work together. This book supports practitioners working with children aged 2-6 (including Reception and Year 1) develop a flexible, observation-led approach to planning that places children at the heart of the process. \nRather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all process, planning should be a dynamic, responsive practice that evolves with the needs of the children and setting. Through practical examples, this book demonstrates how well-planned outdoor spaces support children’s independence and problem-solving skills. Chapters include:\nThe planning cycle – making planning accessible and achievable\nGuiding principles for effective outdoor learning\nCreating intentional environments that support children’s curiosity and development\nObservation, assessment and documentation made manageable\nCase studies from real settings and their outdoor planning journeys\nFeatures:\nHundreds of full-colour photographs\nReflective tasks and activities for staff development\nPractical tools for creating adaptable, child-centred plans\nThis book empowers early years practitioners to design outdoor learning experiences that truly meet children’s needs. By focusing on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of planning, it ensures that day-to-day practice is guided by meaningful aims and objectives – allowing educators to spend less time on paperwork and more time engaging with the children.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51388614246688,"sku":"9780367322724","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780367322724_2440451.jpg?v=1774688781","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/planning-for-outdoor-learning-helen-bilton-9780367322724","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
