Outdoor Classroom Day – May 18

outdoor_classroom_day_logo This important day in the school calendar has grown in size and scale since it was set up in 2011. It is now a globally recognised event with many hundreds of schools taking part across the world.

The day celebrates the opportunities that can be given to children through learning and playing outdoors and how powerful those experiences can be. Being outdoors stimulates imaginations, inspires creativity and encourages social interaction and team working.

There are numerous options to give a new dimension to teaching and learning by taking the lesson outdoors. For example:

Art projects using landscape scenes or natural materials
Science – looking at plant growth, the effects of pollution or a study of habitats
Maths – calculating heights, areas or percentages
Going on a number or nature hunt to find items on a given list
Studying the local area to find out more about its geography or recycling for example
Weather – build your own weather station
