  This text shows how practitioners can use the outdoor environment to develop skills, knowledge and understanding in all areas of the early years curriculum. There are six chapters, each covering one of SCAA's Areas of Learning for under-fives. These are: language and literacy; mathematics; personal and social development; knowledge and understanding of the world; physical development; and creative development. The activities are child-centred, building on the children's own interests. Six photocopiable activity sheets provide extension and reinforcement ideas. The introduction to the book includes useful information for the educator on areas such as safety, using adult helpers, observation, assessment and making links with home.
