Its been a very busy and eventful month.  Our article appeared in TESS and it looks fantastic.  You can still read it on http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6012360.   We've also been able to set up a research project with a friend from Aberdeen University.  She will start work in August this year and research the what it is about Nature Nurture that works so well and what are the longer term effects of this early intervention.

Best of all we have started with two more groups of children.  One little girl is almost blind and she is helping us notice all the amazing sounds in the forest.  She also helps us remember how important it is to sing while we play.  Another child has witnessed terrible violence in his family home.  He's learning that adults can be gentle, can care about their environment and most of all can value him in his exploration and play.
