Hi Millie
The dissertation was about outdoor play rather than free flow play, but I just trawled through the internet and found references to books and research papers. The Helen Bilton book was very useful, as were some papers and researc h by Tim Waller. There is also some work going on about Forest schools in Suffolk (and elsewhere, I daresay). I too was a bit handicapped by the lack of currrent research. I have now finished, and in fact got quite a poor mark due to not relating reading to research! If I was doing it again I might have focussed on a specific aspect - such as gender - there is lots of research about how boys learn in the outdoor environments. Still I got through the degree OK & I hope you do to. Thanks everyone who contributed.
