Following a month-by-month format, it explores theme related play experiences, planning, evaluations of how the ideas described were carried out and what impact they had on the children. With all-new photographs, this fully updated edition covers both early years and KS1 and provides detailed information on the role of the adult, the environment, planning and using children's interests to guide learning and development. Written by a leading authority in the field, it aims to help practitioners to make the most of the outdoor environment"-- Provided by publisher.
