According to scientific research in the UK, children nowadays are very disconnected from nature. Playing in a natural environment is actually good for children, in these ways:


1. Increase interest in science
2. Improve scientific knowledge
3. Stimulate higher-level thinking (e.g. lateral thinking, creative thinking)
4. Help release stress
5. Improve social skills
6. Appreciate the natural environment

As a nature lover myself, I also want my daughter to enjoy nature. Recently I let her participate in a Nature Adventure Walk, which was an interesting and educational workshop that had many games and activities related to nature. It was actually conducted by my friend's Sec 4 daughter and her friends (all from RGS), and it was part of their project to let children be more involved in nature.

I thought that it was a good experience, and my daughter also enjoyed it very much. So I thought I could share it with everyone here! The RGS girls' have a website: http://naturetrailblazers.wordpress.com/

They are conducting another one Nature Adventure Walk soon. You can also contact them at: [email protected]

Hope you find this beneficial for your child!
