Today we welcome Dr Claire Warden, Nature Pedagogist, author, education consultant, entrepreneurial leader and founder of Auchlone, a multi award winning nature kindergarten in Scotland.

We unpack what nature pedagogy is, and how educators can include it in their settings and teaching practice. We discuss the benefits of risk, and the importance of curiosity and fascination when it comes to sparking a love for learning in children.

In addition Claire discusses the importance of observation and documentation when working with children and gives ideas on how to implement floor books for planning, guiding the line of inquiry, and documenting children's learning.

This week we discuss taking photographs and whether or not it's worth having hundreds of photos just stored on a phone. We ask, "is there a purpose to taking photographs of the things your children do or make?"

Join us as we share memories of old fashioned ways of collecting memorabilia and explore whether we are being respectful as we share photographs of our children.
