Wilding Sessions
Saplings Wildling Sessions: Exploring the Outdoors
We are thrilled to share the exciting Outdoor Learning opportunities happening in Saplings! Over the past few weeks, the children have been taking part in small sessions to help clear and prepare our grassed area. They have loved working together to tidy the space, plant flowers, and create an environment that attracts insects and wildlife. Their curiosity, enthusiasm, and sense of achievement have been wonderful to see!
The grassed area will become a regular part of our Outdoor Learning programme.
The children will have the chance to explore, play, and learn in a natural setting that supports their 'Understanding of the World', creativity, and physical development.
Outdoor activities encourage movement, balance, and coordination, while also promoting confidence and resilience as children challenge themselves in new ways.
The sessions also focus on teamwork and problem-solving. Children work together to plant, explore, and care for their outdoor space, learning important social skills such as taking turns, communicating, and supporting one another. These experiences help foster a sense of responsibility, collaboration, and empathy, while also nurturing a love of nature.
Our Wildling sessions are helping children develop confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world. We can’t wait to see the children continue to explore, discover, and grow through these enriching outdoor experiences!
