There's so much out there.

So what would your advice be to parents around that as well?

But even then, I guess there's mud if it's been a muddy day.

But yeah, there's some places have lots of trees and sticks and things.

I guess you have to remember, what did I like as a kid?

Because as an adult, you kind of go, oh, can't we bother getting wet?

It's going to be cold.

So you kind of have to take your mind back to that a bit, right?

Yeah.

I mean, it's a tough economic climate at the moment, too.

So, you know, perfect reminder that you don't have to.

go and pay the money for the big fancy playground, inside playgrounds and those kinds of things.

Finally, what would your plea or advice or message be for schools when they're thinking about wanting to bring in this kind of outdoor education or play?

Yeah, for schools or for those people who are making decisions about these things, whether it's governments or school leaders, those kinds of people.

So you're like, it's my time to say something.

What do I say?

And you think that that is something that is important to teach in schools too, that it needs to be interwoven with the rest of learning?

What do you see in terms of the impact on children?

So have you seen, going right back to the students we were talking about at the beginning, those five to seven year olds who are perhaps a little weary, have you seen a change in them, in their confidence, but have you heard what it means for them in terms of the rest of their classroom learning from teachers?
