Outdoor Learning
Embedded Files
Being outdoors and active is an essential part of growing up and leading a healthy and fulfilling life. Outdoor learning benefits children, young people and adults alike. It engages our hearts through what we feel, our heads through what we think, and our hands through our physical experiences.
Education Scotland
Our Aberdeenshire Early Years colleagues have worked alongside Juliet Robertson, educational consultant, specialising in outdoor learning, to create a number of documents to support settings with evaluating and improving their outdoor practice. Although these documents were originally designed for our ELC settings, all resources are equally suitable for our early primary years.
Below you will find the suite of Stepping Out documents to support you to develop your outdoor play experiences for children within your setting.
