Aistear and Outdoor Learning in Winter

The outdoors in winter provides the perfect place for a child to play, there is excitement and wonder. There are myriad opportunities for sensory explorations from jumping in puddles to balancing on a log, to the feeling of frosty fingers. In this webinar, we will explore practical ways to address the challenges of going outdoors in winter in any early years setting.  
The webinar will demonstrate learning opportunities for children that integrate all the senses in winter.  We will also explore examples of child-led learning across the four themes of Aistear,  examples that help to extend the learning in a fun and engaging way.
This webinar will once again inspire you to step outside to embrace with the children, the magic of nature in winter.
