We want improved opportunities for lifelong learning and skills development for everyone in the East of England.
Woodlands have important educational values both as immediate settings for schools and as places to visit for outdoor learning. Profound links have been demonstrated between the quality of playspace and grounds, and the observed behaviour relationships and attitudes of the pupils who use them. Evidence suggests that improving the quality of the space in which learning takes place will bring about dramatic changes in behaviour and relationships, reduce accidents, ease tensions, reduce bullying and confrontation and provide increased opportunities for learning.
Spending part of school time in small woodlands can have a positive influence on children’s (5 to 7 years) motor development skills. It has been found that natural landscapes have qualities to meet children’s needs for a stimulating and varied play environment, with a positive relationship between landscape components and play activities.
