Outdoor Learning
We have a large school field and a fantastic local learning area. The teachers often take the learning outside as we see the local learning area as an additional classroom with many opportunities that will increase engagement. Opportunities like this help develop the holistic
development of a child through:
- Health and fitness – being active in an outdoor, natural environment.
- Increased emotional wellbeing – resilience, sense of achievement.
- Social development – communicating and negotiating with peers and adults to solve problems and share experiences.
- Gaining knowledge and understanding – multi-sensory, real life learning.
- Individual learning – children learning at their own pace and following their own interests.
We also focus activities on the NHS 5 steps to mental wellbeing. Please click on the following link to find out more about these:
