Author Description

Imagine a world where the lines were harsh and unyielding, the textures were consistent and variation is unheard of. Does it inspire you? Now imagine a place where the carpet changes every day, the ceiling is a myriad of different colours, light, shadow and movement. The feelings and movement completely surround you, sometimes breezy, sometimes cold, other times warm. Unexpected wonders fly by, sometimes full of colour and sometimes full of noise and movement. If we really want children to thrive we need to let their connection to nature nurture them. Claire Warden is an educational consultant based in Perthshire in Scotland. Her approach to learning and the methods that she promotes are innovative and refreshing. The blend of sensorial, kinesthetic and collaborative experiences place children very firmly at the centre of the learning process." - back cover.
