Forest School and Outdoor Learning in the Early Years

Second Edition


July 2013 | 176 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Outdoor learning continues to play an essential role in early years education, and this new edition of a bestselling book explores how the Forest School approach can be easily and effectively incorporated into early years practice.

Expanding on aspects of Forest School teaching, and drawing on new developments and policy changes within the field, this new edition also includes:

- a new chapter on working with parents

- greater coverage of the 0-2 age range

- new case studies to aid learning

- coverage of international approaches to Forest School

Yet again Sara Knight delivers an inspirational text for all those working in or studying early years education and care.

Sara Knight is an experienced early years educator and Senior Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University. She is a trained Forest School practitioner and author of Forest Schools For All and Risk and Adventure in Early Years Outdoor Play (both published by SAGE).

A very interesting read-however the links of forest schools to other approaches and current EYFS was minimal.

I was a kindergarten teacher in Finland in the 1990’s, where our small rural setting offered outdoor environment experiences for the children every day. This book reminds me of those glorious times in the forest around the open fire. Sara Knight gathers together her expertise about Forest School practices and outdoor learning. This new edition offers an insight into outdoor learning through several case studies, discussion points, pictures and further readings. I find the book exciting and believe it offers a valuable reading experience for all early years’ practitioners.
