Orchard Students Embrace Nature's Call: Rainy Day Play Promotes Growth and Development
Read MoreKeep scrolling after the article to see more photos and a video. Parents, be sure to check the April 14th Observer for all of the high resolution photos.
As the rain poured down, students at The Orchard School jumped at the opportunity to connect with nature. With uncontainable excitement, they rushed outside to immerse themselves in the mud and rain, creating impromptu games and reveling in the freedom of outdoor play. Research consistently highlights the benefits of these experiences for children's development, fostering creativity, resilience, and a profound connection with the natural world. Today's muddy escapade was not just a playful adventure but a crucial component in nurturing our students’ overall development well-being.As Richard Louv, the author of the book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, would say, "We should not think of a child's experience in nature as an extracurricular activity. It should be thought of as vital to children's health and development."Orchard couldn’t agree more with that statement. -
