This blog post has come from my regular blog, I'm a teacher, get me OUTSIDE here! But I thought visitors to Children & Nature Network might enjoy this too.
Whilst attending the 4th International Skogsmulle Symposium in Japan, several presentations were given. This is a guest post by Anita Egle, a Swede who resides in Germany and has run Skogsmulle sessions in Bavaria since 1989. It is a written…

Last Easter I was fortunate enough to spend a day at the Secret Garden Outdoor Nursery in Fife. It was one of those magical days which remain etched in my memory for many reasons. I was particularly bowled over by the numerous examples of literacy happening spontaneously. Very often, this is a concern raised by educators and parents... are the core skills being covered such as maths and language and if so, how, when children are…

Thank you Juliette! I hope you enjoyed the interviews. The full series has 30 in series 1 and I'm on my way to another 30 in series 2. Wonderful people inspiring and working together for a wonderful movement. Richard Louv is part of my upcoming Series 2, quite an honor to connect with him and hear him share his passion.
Great :) Thanks so much.
Hi Juliet! I'm heading over to the UK for the IPA conference in Wales in June/July. Any chance you are attending? If not, we should think about how to meet up while I'm overseas. It would be a priviliage to get to know you and all the fantastic work you're doing in Scotland!

Hello Juliet, nice to meet you!
I hope we can do something good together here. I'd like to share experiences and maybe projects, and find the way to make them known by as many people as possible. Especially children. It would take very little for them to discover and love nature, but most of parents and teachers do not know. And we all lose a great occasion.
Best wishes to you
Paolo
Hi Juliet,
Thanks for connecting with me here, too. I'm sure there will be all sorts of new outdoor fun for 2011. Can't wait to see what happens!
Michele
Thanks Juliet. Will do!
In fact, I tried to do so this AM, but learned you must first accept me as your friend.
I'm now awaiting your decision!
Cheers from this side of the Atlantic,
Tim
Season's Greetings Juliet from Toronto. Thanks for reaching out.
I'd be glad to join the discussions. My wife and I have been editing/publishing our non-profit Green Teacher magazine for almost 20 years now, and have also published 6 books. You can learn more about both, and freely view a digital version of a recent back issue at www.greenteacher.com. Our focus is on publishing innovative ways to connect children, 6-19 years of age, to the natural world.
I should also mention that Green Teacher started in Wales in 1996. We started what was to be a Canadian edition in 1991, but the UK edition failed shortly thereafter. Within a few years, we ceased viewing ourselves as Canadian and have been welcoming contributions from around the world ever since.
With that introduction out of the way, I look forward to the discussions and contributing in any way that I can.
Cheers,
Tim
Hi Juliet,
Great to hear from you. I've just sent a request to join the international group. I've read with much interest the postings from you and others on cn&n connect. Great information and discussion!
All the best,
Troy
Great to hear from you. Yes, I do indeed know Sue, and helped her to get Forest School started in Norfolk. I'm now making sure that all of our trainee primary and early years teachers here at Anglia Rusking University get to hear about Forest School and are offered the opportunity to learn outside with me at least once during their training.

Hi Juliet
It would be great to connect with you. I am the admin of the Earth Scouts Network which is a program of the Earth Charter U.S. organization. It would be great to migrate and import Earth Scouts into the UK! Let's talk about possibilities. Looking forward to hearing from you!
