Thriving Language - Early Years

The Beckies chat with Sarah Watkins - all about wildness, the outdoors and embracing natural play


Listen Later

Sarah talks to the Beckies about the outdoor environment. Sarah explores ‘risky play’ and prompts us to consider is this ‘risky’ or is this how children play? She explains to us how she uses the term ‘productive uncertainty’ and has applied this to how children learn and explore through play.

Sarah’s extensive and varied experiences working with settings have resulted in her belief that you can make some ‘wildness’ in even the smallest of outside spaces and we really delve into the role of the adult in the outside environment.

A really important and interesting listen.
