Nature-based practices

This is what I aim to improve in my teaching practices along my journey. Although the kindy I am going for my prac is not a forest school, they are embedding nature pedagogy through an "Inside, Outside Program". I had the opportunity to follow them on an excursion to the park next to kindy and that two hours was absolute joy, awe and wonder. I am reengaging with nature and hope to bring more nature into my teaching practices..
