With our return to school in August, we are expecting to spend a bit of time learning outside.  This is a safer and healthier environment for everyone and we are going to make the most of the experience.

Last term the FoFS began to apply for grants and funding for the playground space, and they are continuing their hard work at the moment in the hope of moving towards a new and improved outdoor learning environment.

Mrs Drever was able to secure funding and resources before lockdown, as well as a professional learning workshop for staff about outdoor learning.  We were lucky enough to have an instructor from ‘Learning Through Landscapes’ to teach us a little bit more about using outside spaces with classes.

Outdoor Learning and Landscapes

We are excited about each class group taking on an outside project and working towards achieving a long term space for ongoing learning outside.  Whether that is learning about nature or doing maths in the open air.  Anything is possible.
