Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Hi and welcome! Thinking cap is on...... How does it differ to indoor learning? i.e. should the resources be the same Something about free flow affecting resources? Availability and cost of resources? People as resources and staffing? Good luck! ppp Edited October 18, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 True to form I'd be interested to study whether boys and girls are attracted to different types of resources, and whether they play with resources differently. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Great ideas so far I would be interested in looking at the different use of resources in child-initiated and adult-directed activities outside. Very often, the children are far more inventive than the adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueFinanceManager Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi Shak89 First and foremost welcome to the forum It might be useful to do a forum search for topics / discussions about outdoors and get some ideas what people use their outdoor spaces for, this may highlight some fundamental differences of the indoor and outdoor space. To do a search use the turquoise tab at the top right hand corner of the screen called 'Search forum posts' and put in outdoors or any variant you wish. This might give you some useful background reading and hopefully some ideas. There are also some articles on the site that may be food for thought Taking a Risk? The value of risk and challenge in the early years. Play and Exploration Hope some of this helps Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
