What is nature based learning?

Nature-based learning is an enriching educational approach that takes place outdoors, fostering a deep connection with the natural world. It is regular and long-term, allowing children to engage in child-led, play-based experiences that support their holistic well-being. This method emphasizes the key competencies of the Primary Curriculum Framework, encouraging creativity, active learning, and effective communication while nurturing active citizenship. Additionally, it aligns with the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Strategy, promoting a sustainable future for our planet.

Outdoor learning

It’s to connect children with nature. Bring your students outside to a natural space in your school ground or nearby. Let them explore, play, and learn about the environment around them. This experience can foster curiosity and appreciation for the outdoors

Gardening

Transforming a small school space into a garden can be rewarding for students. Involve them in cultivating soil, planting seeds,eding, and harvesting. This hands-on experience teaches them about growth and fosters teamwork. Watching their garden flourish will instill a lasting appreciation for nature and healthy eating.
