| Summary, etc | Flicking through this book you realise it is written by someone who is extremely passionate about the natural world and that he is keen to share that passion with others. The author is an advocate of the outdoor classroom, learning through gardening and growing one s own food. He encourages the reader to get children outside, to use their senses and to show them how to bond with nature. He suggests the let s find out approach and the need to be constantly asking questions. He advocates that there is no need to be an expert naturalist in order to be successful, but what is important is to be interested and to be engaged. The book s target audience is anyone working with children from 4 to 18 years. The author provides advice for setting up a sound, nature-centred educational programme, enabling educators to help their students to learn about nature at first hand and to come to a better understanding of how natural ecosystems work, regardless of their size. There is a wide range of topics covered for teachers to share with their students, including the development of ecological literacy and environmental concerns. There is guidance on how to carry out accurate observations through drawing and note taking, make field reports, imitate animal sounds, track animals, create a school garden, photograph birds and play hide and seek with owl calls. These activities are supported by examples and anecdotes, with his perspective on the importance of dealing objectively yet compassionately with social and environmental problems. |
