Outdoor Learning...<br />

Outdoor Learning has followed a slightly different approach over the past two<br />

weeks. As a school we have been working to make our outside spaces as great<br />

as we can. In addition to our successful first Groundforce Day, our Outdoor<br />

Learning sessions have allowed the children to be involved in a wide variety of<br />

tasks to have a positive and purposeful impact on our grounds. Our sessions in<br />

Year 2 and up have worked on a rotational basis where all children have been<br />

able to take part in fire skills, land management/ landscaping and animal care.<br />

This allows children to not only continue with skills they enjoy, but also have<br />

the opportunity to learn new skills and have new experiences in smaller focused<br />

groups. It’s been great to see how keen all the children have been to get<br />

stuck into all tasks presented to them as well as showing resilience and determination<br />

when faced with more challenging tasks. We are lucky to now be able<br />

to utilise our new farm field to host our Outdoor Learning sessions - the increased<br />

space allows for a wider range of activities but it also allows other ares<br />

of the school to be rested for a more sustainable practice.
