Outdoor Learning Can Help Children Flourish in Science and across the Curriculum--The FSC Takes a Lead
Rose, Hannah; Kempton, Anneke
Primary Science, n132 p12-15 Mar 2014
The recent explosive growth of the Wild Network, which exists to champion and support connection with nature and wildness in children and young people, suggests that there is a groundswell of support for getting young people outdoors. Hannah Rose and Anneke Kempton of the Field Studies Council (FSC) explain why the outdoors is such an important place for teaching and learning and how the FSC helps schools to deliver it.
