Light Box

Nature? It’s an important part of The Curiosity Approach, it inspires us everyday & fills our setting with wondrous treasures.We need to get outside and embrace the great outdoors. We are starting to see changes in the seasons and in our garden some of our flora is dying off ready for their sleep over Winter. We collected an array seed heads and other materials from our garden and bought them inside for the children to take a closer look.

 Taking inspiration from Rudolf Steiner’s work and Waldorf Education, Rudolf Steiner’s insights into nature are more relevant today than they were in his time. Believing that we need a conscious equilibrium with nature; That we are not entitled to simply exploit the Earth, but neither should we view ourselves as devastating irritants on Earth’s surface. We are an integral part of the evolving natural world from which we arise.

“This world surrounds us, and we can rediscover ourselves within it, just as we can find all of nature transformed within us. “Credit from https://www.biodynamic.org.uk

It’s important we take every opportunity to help children connect to nature, to fill our environment with wondrous treasures, our children need to connect and develop early Eco literacy, understanding of our incredible and delicate planet
