Three groups, named after winds. Each has at most 14 children and two teachers.
MeltemAge 3–4 (36–48 months)
Meltem: the soft, cool breeze that blows from sea to land.
For children meeting school and the forest for the first time. In Meltem the day is built around short walks, long play and frequent breaks. First we learn the boundaries, the sounds and the whistle; then the path grows a little longer each week.
At most 14 children, 2 teachers; a 600 m walk every day.
The Meltem group pagePoyrazAge 4–5 (48–60 months)
Poyraz: the cool, steady north-easterly wind.
For children who know the forest and now ask "why?". In Poyraz the walk is the centre of the day, and every walk has a question. First workshops with real tools, long projects and deciding as a group are this year's work.
At most 14 children, 2 teachers; a 1.2 km walk every day.
The Poyraz group pageKarayelAge 5–6 (60–72 months)
Karayel: the strong, sharp north-westerly wind.
The oldest at school. In Karayel children show the younger ones the path, present their own projects and prepare for the move to primary school. Pre-reading, number sense and attention work happen in nature, through real tasks.
At most 14 children, 2 teachers; a 2.4 km walk every day.
