Embedded Files
We believe that learning outside of the classroom can inspire and enhance children's learning opportunities in many different ways. Every class is timetabled for an outdoor learning session every week. Examples of recent outdoor learning across the school have included:
3D art sculptures inspired by Andy Goldsworthy
Baking bread on a fire inspired by the stone age people
Mini beast hunts using our pond area
Classification of leaves and plants
Den building in DT lessons
Map work around the school
Shadows in science

YEAR 2 ARE EXPLORING SHAPES OUTDOORS!
In outdoor learning this week we went to explore shapes in nature, building on from maths and linking with our inquiry.
YEAR 3 ARE SEARCHING FOR CLUES!
As part of our provocation, we explored how human actions can positively or negatively impact the environment, which sparked some interesting discussions. We sorted photos, comparing the Amazon Rainforest with the New Forest. A scavenger hunt helped us decipher essential vocabulary. It was an engaging way to deepen our understanding.
YEAR 2 ARE CREATING TRAILS!
In outdoor learning this week, we went outside to create trails in the snow inspired by the story of The Snail and the Whale.
