In a Charentaise school, lessons take place outside. Every half day, kindergarten class children head to the forest for an outdoor class.

No matter the weather or the temperature, kindergarten students at a Charente school spend the morning doing activities in the forest, throughout the school year. Children seem reckless and won over by these excursions which allow them to discover the great outdoors. “A lot of things are happening on the way, we are going to stop because we saw a flow, we are going to wonder which animal can pass by there, or a mushroom. We will see if he has slats or foam “, explains Marie-Line Bonneau, one of the educators.

In this school particular out of contract, the pedagogy is based on the relationship with nature. For this day, the children must collect autumn leaves to make a herbarium. After this activity comes the time of the meal, which is accompanied by some rules: “We take the time to learn to dress, to eat alone. They are independent on their meals they take out of their backpacks, they manage their business “, says the educator. For the director of the establishment, outdoor education brings the essentials to children, namely curiosity and energy management, and parents are won over.
