Outdoor Learning 2024-2025

We love mud play - Sensory, Cooking and fun!

Mmmm dinnertime! I love to get dirty while finding worms Mudballs for dinner!

Den building creates opportunities for team work, creativity, learning new skills and risk taking whilst having fun!

We love to investigate our Forest School area and school grounds and learn about the creatures we find! We know we have to be gentle and always put them back where we find them.

We learnt all about trees and why they are important for our community and the whole planet. We love trees!

Hug a tree - it's great for your wellbeing! We can use to trees to be creative I love the trees! Miss, can we make a catapult? Trees are great for climbing I love to climb

We use natural materials to get creative and develop weaving and binding skills

Natural wands ready for Hogwarts - Alohomora! Natural wands ready for Hogwarts - Winguardium Leviosa Natural wands ready for Hogwarts - Expelliarmus! Natural wands ready for Hogwarts - Stupefy! A crown fit for King Charles III A crown fit for King Charles III A crown fit for King Charles III I weaved a fish from willow A crown fit for King Charles III

We drew around our shadows in the morning and then went out in the afternoon to investigate what happened. It blew our minds when we learnt it's because the Earth is moving around the sun rather than the sun moving in the sky!

How did that happen? My shadow is in the wrong place! Why has my shadow moved? But why is my shadow over there? I'm confused

We have been learning to use our gardening tools safely, and how to identify weeds and flowers

We love to complete our maths outside using natural materials

I can measure using my ruler I know how to measure in cm I can use leaves to work out my fractions The leaves have helped me to understand fractions We worked together to solve our fraction provlems
