Kilmacolm Primary School and
Nursery Class
Since returning to school there has been a major focus on Outdoor learning
within the school. We have taken full advantage of our wonderful school
grounds and have further developed the grounds to maximise outdoor
learning opportunities allowing pupils to be work safely outdoors in a
stimulating environment.
Outdoor Learning
@ Kilmacolm Primary School
and Nursery Class
Each teacher and the nursery team have taken responsibility for developing
an outdoor area and this is taking place over the coming weeks. Pupils are
enjoying their outdoor learning experiences and the various learning spaces
available to them.
The school trim trail has been extended, this has proved hugely popular with
all pupils within the school. An outdoor classroom area consists of a large
bark area with wooden seating, allowing lessons to be taken outdoors. The
school fairy garden has a story telling chair and seats providing magical story
telling time. The garden also has tyre swings which have been a bit hit with the
nursery and primary pupils. Teachers have cleared the wildlife garden and the school nursery are currently creating a wildlife meadow.
We are so lucky to have the support of our parents and our partnership charity The Haven. The Haven have erected fence poles throughout
the school garden which has allowed ten large shelter canopies to be quickly erected, allowing outdoor lessons to take place no matter the
weather. Pupils are enjoying working outdoors, exploring their environment and being surrounded with nature.
The school has invested in a variety of outdoor learning equipment allowing pupils to have stimulating learning experiences. New den
building equipment provides the opportunity for pupils to work together to design and create their own shelters and they look forward to
using the new fire pit to take cooking outdoors.
