Outside the Box Learning

One of my former Reception students making a big difference. Well done Gemma Bawden!

🌱What does is look like when nature gets a second chance? For our western district Landscape Officer Gemma Bawden, this is a large part of her everyday job with us, having a hands-on role in the restoration of SA’s fourth largest island.

“This is an example of making a real-world difference, where populations of endangered and vulnerable flora and fauna species are protected from pest species, and given a chance to flourish naturally,” says Gemma.

For years now, I've supported Kindy's, ELC's and schools to discover a pathway towards embedding outdoor learning and nature connection programs within their sites.

When the journey starts with a small step and we turn our attention to noticing...the pathway reveals itself. The process is not easy or quick!

So - if you're looking to bring more purpose and intention to your learning outdoors and learning from nature...start small.

Notice something. Follow the tracks of your noticing.

Today I looked closely at the bark on the trees in my neighbourhood...And right now, I'm not looking for any answers. Not trying to turn it into something more...just noticing. Right here.
