Outdoor Education
- Understanding different types of plants and trees in the park.
- Learning about various animals and insects found in the park environment.
- Developing physical skills such as climbing, running, and jumping.
- Enhancing social skills by interacting and playing with friends in a natural setting.
After the park visit, encourage the child to create a nature journal where they can draw and write about the plants, animals, and insects they encountered. This can foster a deeper connection to the natural environment and improve observational and fine motor skills.
