This episode of the TTS Talking Early Years podcast wraps up what has been a jam-packed series 1; discovering the wonderful world of outdoor learning. In this final episode of series 1, Alistair and guests, Mel Mcree and Sarah Lawfull, jump right back into the topic of Forest School and why it’s so important. 

Alistair Bryce-Clegg asks Mel and Sarah the million-dollar question; in an Instagram and Pinterest-dominated world, what exactly is the REALITY of Forest School and why is this reality so important? 

Sarah and Mel talk about the importance of Forest School activities being led by the child’s genuine interests, but also finding the right balance of educators sharing their own competency, passion, and skills to enrich and scaffold children’s learning in the great outdoors.
