cave stream reflection

I’ve been through Cave Stream many times but every time feels like the first. Yesterday was special. We’ve had a massive Term at school. We were all ‘hanging out’ for this challenge; we needed it. One of the best aspects of taking children into the outdoors is watching their unique cycles of anticipation; witnessing their anxieties and sharing in their excitement. Individually, they deal with the build-up in their own ways. Some verbalise to their peers, many internalise and a few are secure enough to make their worries and fears known to all! I love watching this. The whole process of adventure reveals a lot about the child - much of which would otherwise never be revealed in a school setting. Watching how they cope, then overcome their fears enhances my ability to cater for their needs both in and outside the classroom.
