Retirement
At the end of March my Wanderlust Child Nature Study Programme will be going into retirement. This has been such a huge decision as I poured so much thought and heart into this signature programme seven years ago. It also became my second best selling course with over 50.000 purchases during the pandemic. As wonderful as it is and with all the ideas and suggestions I share the world has changed so much since it was written. I feel it's time for something new when it comes to Nature Play. One of the things I love about the Wanderlust Programme is that it got many of you who were less confident in connecting with nature with children making changes to your practice. I feel that we now need a programme that takes us a bit deeper into the outdoors. Less about creating beautiful (and often expensively resourced) nature inspired play set ups (although there will still be a place for these in moderation!) and more about actually getting stuck in there with all the wild elements we have in nature. Things are going to get a little wilder and i'm so excited to share more with you soon on the new programme that's coming. If you've already purchased the Wanderlust Programme thats great...you have a life times access to it. If you don't own it already but would like access to it and all the material before it goes away forever then you will need to follow the link at the bottom of this email before the end of March.
Nature Study: Raise a Wanderlust Child
A 52 week programme built around the daily rhythm and seasons. Helping educators and children create a deeper connection with nature.
52 Weekly Nature Themes
Each week you will receive; Downloadable activity guides, nature fact sheets and songs and stories to support your practice. Alongside the Early Years Curriculum.
Deepen Your Knowledge
Instant access to 12 lessons on Nature Based Learning helping you understand the research and principles behind it.
Strengthening Connections
Throughout the year our time saving programme will allow your children to connect with nature. Inspiring future generations to be explorers, adventurers and scientists.
So what is Nature Study?
It's a 52 week programme looking at how we can connect with nature each and every day. Developing our own understanding as educators and also that of the children's. Organised around the natural rhythm of the seasons it offers opportunities to learn about wildlife, natural phenomena and the natural world around us.
Offering ideas of ways to set up and support learning (on a budget as nature is free!!), songs to sing and sensory learning experience.
Drawing on the approaches to Early Education in Scandinavia, Canada and Australia and offering a range of ideas in practice too!
Why is this approach needed?
With excessive screen time and many children (and adults!) spending increasing time indoors we are now known as the indoor generation.
Lets take action and move away from this. Empowering our children to learn about the world first hand and make their own informed decisions around sustainable living. Which in turn will enthuse them about being adventurers, explorers and scientists.
