At Burnt Oak, we were delighted to take part in Outdoor Classroom Day on Thursday 8th May. It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to step outside the classroom and enjoy hands-on, meaningful learning in the fresh air.

Throughout the day. Pupils engaged in a variety of exciting activities designed to deepen their understanding of key topics while connecting with the world around them. Some children explored the concept of time by forming a human clock-standing in a circle and holding number cards to bring the idea of telling time to life in a memorable and interactive way. Additionally, some children also took their science learning outside, carrying out an experiment to investigate different materials. The children tested how far balls made of various materials would bounce, encouraging prediction, observation, and recording of results in a fun and engaging environment. Lastly, Some children embraced technology outdoors, using our new iPads to draw pictures inspired by the sights and sounds of nature.

We are incredibly proud to offer our children the chance to learn beyond the classroom walls. Outdoor learning plays a vital role in education, supporting wellbeing, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
