At St Albert’s we are blessed with truly amazing outdoor spaces.  These natural areas are fast becoming essential areas for learning beyond the traditional classroom environment.  Research has proven that learning outdoors has many benefits including:

• Improving focus and concentration levels
• Developing awareness of environmental issues
• Appreciation of natural spaces
• Working as part of a team
• Developing knowledge and understanding of risk and how to be safe

With these benefits in mind, St Albert’s are pioneering a new initiative to promote outdoor learning involving parents and families.  We would be delighted if you would like to work and play with your child/children outdoors in the beautiful surroundings of our school and local community.  Activities would include:

• Shelter building
• Natural art
• The science of nature
• Solving environmental problems
• Fire building (including eating delicious toasted marshmallows!)

If you are interested or if you have any questions about this amazing opportunity please email me at the address below.

I look forward to seeing you and having loads of fun in the outdoors! We hope to begin these sessions after the October break, times would be arranged to suit.

Kind regards,

Mr Corrigan
