Outdoor Learning Environment
Outdoor Play has many benefits for young children. Children who play outdoors regularly are happier, healthier, fitter and stronger. As early years educators, it is our responsibility to promote and encourage meaningful play opportunities in our school. Encouraging children to play outside, get moving and connect and explore the natural world are all ways to tackle our increasing rated of childhood obesity in Ireland.
Many tasks that children need to achieve – exploring, risk-taking, fine and gross motor development, basic knowledge and social interactions, can all be most effectively learned through outdoor play.
