‘Play based Learning in the Outdoor Classroom: Nature and the Curriculum’

This 1-day workshop will build the confidence of educators who want to educate children through nature in either their own natural environment or a local nature space. It will provide skills, knowledge and ideas to support children’s play in an outdoor environment while helping to make links to the both Te Whāriki and The NZ Curriculum. Aimed at ECE and Primary Teachers, Parents, Unschoolers and Homeschoolers there will be plenty of opportunities for discussion and networking.

About Celia

As a facilitator of outdoor and nature-based learning, Celia inspires ECE and primary teachers to look beyond the day-to-day challenges and find outdoor learning opportunities where kids can blossom. While investigating how nature sessions could work within ECE and primary schools she found teachers really struggled to use the outdoor classroom. With support and guidance their confidence grew, and she is now excited to be running professional development for nature educators throughout New Zealand. Celia currently runs a bush kindy session each week and is also focused on changing legislation in ECE to enable full time nature kindergartens in NZ. Celia originally studied outdoor recreation and adult education. For the past 20 years she has worked for a variety of outdoor education organisations internationally, setting up, developing and running outdoor programmes, wilderness expeditions, leadership development programmes and establishing risk management and safety systems. Now with two wild preschoolers herself she wants to share her passion for getting children outdoors and into nature.
