It’s not just the children that have to learn at school – the teachers do too.  Along with 23 other teachers from around Scotland, I spent the weekend with the Field Studies Council on the Island of Cumbrae, off the west coast of Scotland, finding out how to take more learning outside.   The weather was extremely inter-changeable, but that didn’t stop us – even the seals came out to say hello. It was a very busy, but informative and fun few days where I have carried out activities relating to, amongst other things, changing landscapes, plankton, mammal trapping, worm hunting and Geo-squishing!!!!

I can’t wait to try some of these new ideas out 😉
