My children are lucky enough to go to a school where outdoor learning is promoted. Each week the children enjoy time in the natural play area, located next to the school. The area is created with natural materials found in the area and students as well as teachers have helped to develop and build the area. In the area children enjoy climbing, games, swinging, balancing, campfires, wood carving, hanging up water catchers and bird houses, eating their daily fruit snack, drinking hot chocolate and much more.
I decided to take a trip there with my daughters for a closer look and what great fun we had.

The swing
Two balancing logs, the closest one is higher than it looks and is actually quite scary, not that my 6 year old had any problems getting across.

A great way to get through the forest – on balancing ropes
