Forest School and Outdoor Learning in the Early Years

Very interesting book dedicated to forest schools. Would recommend this book on the early years course.

Useful to enhance reading of those interested, a supplementary text to her other books.

Provided this book to the learning resource team

I love this book, indepth knowledge of forest schools and outdoor learning.

A thorough and practical guide to using outside spaces to support learning.

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

Will definately use term 3 forest schools

This is a great introduction to Forest School. Students find the contents interesting and motivating.

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.

This book is an essential read for thse involved in or researching outdoor education.
The author draws on research to support the chapters. Excellent links between theory and practice made throughout.
