Children are TEN TIMES more active outdoors than indoors in childcare. If we want to increase physical activity levels then we need to promote more #OutdoorPlay & #ActivePlay & need more training for practitioners to enable this! https://t.co/ZPnK7eL1S8

We embraced the chilly temperatures this morning to engage with The Loose Parts Playground. Exciting to experience play-based & nature-based urban learning. Thank you to @mmejacquie for hosting the Y1s CSH cohort. @CSHUOttawa @uOttawaEdu @thinkoutsidePS

Might be harder for adults than Ss but totally worth it! Even in the rain!

[Jess Whitley @EducatorJess]

@CSHUOttawa I challenge you all (and myself) to take a listening walk!

Took some Ss out for a listening walk this week! Such a great way to focus our noticing.

It’s often the students who struggle most inside the classroom who need recess the most!

[Jess Whitley @EducatorJess]

We all know this, right??

As the end of the school year is approaching, think of the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku or "Forest Bathing" as a stress antidote!
