I don't know about schools, but the kindergarten that I went to was a "nature"-kindergarten, where we were out in the forest 80% of the day, no matter if it rained or snowed.
I must have catched a whole forest of insects, and investigated them.
It is very popular in Denmark, and I love the forest and the outdoor because of it, especially the different seasons and their impact on nature.
- magicalist 13y agoThat sounds amazing. Google suggests "Waldkindergarten", at least as a name for the general category. Is that correct? Maybe just in Germany? Edit: that wikipedia article is maybe the worst thing ever. Learning to be comfortable in a natural environment, more free-form play, these are good things in an of themselves. I don't understand why people need to fall back on crackpot theories to justify a program like this.
- kawsper 13y agoIn Denmark it is named "Skovbørnehave" which translates to "Forest kindergarten". I am actually a bit surprised that it worked, because we ran around without much supervision, but we knew exactly where we were allowed to be, and when we were too far away from the group.
