Discoveries

Discoveries are something we make all the time; whether it is something we see, a feeling we have, a connection we make, a new piece of information or a new theory about something. Hopefully we are all, children and adults alike, perpetually in a state of discovering. It is this sense of freshness, newness and exhilaration that has the potential to make each moment exciting. We are fortunate here at Nature School that discoveries from the natural world come frequently and magically. But it is also our job to provoke thought around these discoveries and seek out ways to build upon them. We also must observe discoveries in relationship; how can we support them and foster them so they grow? This is our work each and every day. As you look through these photographs, we invite you to think about what the children are discovering in these moments. Enjoy!
