Outdoor Preschool – Norway
July 2009 are taught to manage risk, rather than avoid it. Everything is dangerous! says outdoor teacher Heidi Buvang. We motivate children to expand their limits, to try hanging from branches and climbing trees. Outdoor nurseries are trying to counteract concerns that childhood has become overprotected and believe external education makes children more creative and independent. Were competing with computer games, says Heidi, Its important to give children the desire to be outdoors.
@votumseparatum1 Haha I must have been pretty tiered while I wrote this a year ago because it is pretty awful! But maybe next time you could make a comment about the video and not my spelling because it is besides the point and rude!
This is so fantastic, I totally love their attitude towards nature.
I hope this catches on! Nature should be a big part of everyone’s childhood!
damn! take me to norway! im tired of stupid in-class work, maybe now I can acctually get an A, not a C with a 50-page report!
OMG! A knife in a 5-year-old’s hand? Scary!
@talkative12 In the states maybe. Hah! I actually moved from Norway to the states when I was a kid and I remember I brought a pocket knife to school and everyone freaked out. Americans really are paranoid. -.-
Then again we don’t really have school shootings here so I guess you have the right to be a little more tense.
We just created an outdoor preschool in MInnesota! It’s wonderful!
This is fantastic! wish that we had something like this in Australia…. well we sort of did when the Aboriginals owned the land….
An appreciation of nature is what is lacking in today’s society, Children in particular teens look at a picture of a beautiful mountain stream or other scenery & go “duh how boring” they would rather play games on the xbox/wii/ps2/ipod etc than admire nature in all it’s beauty sad really.

Amazing! I liked how the teacher motivated the children to do something very difficult by saying she had a special prize. When educators are enthusiastic in their approach to teaching, children can learn anything. I invite you to check out my channel.
@akeffo hey we are not all like that, i take outdoor education as well.
beautiful country
I love this idea! We need to bring something like this to the States!
@LuchDMac the best advice i can give you is that when you do have kids, NEVER put a TV in their surroundings…thats the best thing ever for them.
hey we americans when we are or were in Kindergarten we go to the zoo you cant beat that
No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. Never thought of it that way. Quite like that attitude
Wow the scenery is absolutely beautiful it reminds me of my country New Zealand, situated in the south Pacific. Especially the South Island, minus the prolonged sub zero winter. We share the same appreciation for nature here but it’s a shame very few schools allow us to experience the outdoors at an early age like this. I would have loved to attend this kindergarten!
Now this is what i call proper education. My kindergarten was a complete crap so i had to escape few times which get me into trouble when i was just wanting to do what these kids are doing. I feel robbed now
this is a wonderful way for children to learn.
Der vil jeg hels jobbe *.* ! Skal flytte til Norge snart! juhuuuu
Oh wow, this is fantastic! Wonderful outdoor curriculum! Very spontaneous, free and easy…no stress….no schedules to meet….just outdoor fun…I just love it.
beautiful teachers, beautiful children, thank you
