Grade 1 took part in NGG's annual Sports Day event and enjoyed a fantastic afternoon out of the classroom at the forest playground in Nødebo. The natural playscape both challenged and engaged the children and offered them loads of sensory stimulation. It provided room for creativity, imagination, social connections as well as direct social and individual experiences in nature. Outdoor play, besides being healthy and increasing activity levels, is also pivotal in creating a connection between children and nature and is shown to be important in the development of an environmental consciousness and identity. I'm grateful the weather was so cooperative - we had an absolutely brilliant day!
