The children were super engaged each week, and I noticed immediately the change these earth based sciences and workshops had on the children. At lunchtime..I noticed that they were engaging in their natural environment in a more curious and inquisitive way. They were climbing trees more, digging in the soil.. It was great to see them engaging in this way.
