I'll say it again, I really do think Scotland is leading the field in the UK on outdoor learning for all age groups. I concur 100% on all those reasons, everyone - adults & kids - are more motivated when outside. I hope the revolution keeps spreading & reaches our shores too.
I might add: we are more creative because the outdoors/nature is a complex and open-ended classroom that is only limited by our imagination---as evidenced by your writing.
Juliet, I am reading over my comment and it does not make sense to me. What I meant to say was that your writing is evidence at how much more creative we can be using the outdoor classroom, which is complex and open-ended. Tom
