人与自我——生活与学习之森林学校项目
(2023·浙江五校联考)On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first let them sign up for the forest school program,I loved the idea, but as a mum,I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly,they stared at me in confusion.They didn't understand my question, which fittingly removed my concern.
In this program, kids direct their own play,climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to selfadjust.Something else my sons appreciate about the forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they're missing in real school?”concerned parents have asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it's a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close—a skill that's virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups.They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I appreciate it that the forest school is shaping my boys' relationship with the outdoors.They're learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time,and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.
