Today in assembly we watched a short film about Outdoor Learning and how we can continue our learning using the outdoors.  Primary 7 pupils, Josh, Nikolas, Abby and Eva took notes and this is what they found.

Outdoor learning is good for:

teamwork, getting your body moving, being energetic and exercising, getting healthier, developing listening skills, using your imagination, getting fresh air, providing space for learning, keeping you calm, playing games,

Outdoor learning supports:

maths and numeracy, literacy and language, experimenting, cross curricular links, being creative and inventive, using outdoor resources – den building, planting, understanding of nature

Outdoor learning is:

FUN,  A GOOD EDUCATION

We also agreed that we need to be prepared for Outdoor Learning and that the weather would have a part to play.  Classes would not be outdoors in really poor, wet weather.

Well done to everyone for their contribution to our assembly!  Happy Outdoor Learning!!

Outdoor PE will begin shortly.  Pupils will be required to wear appropriate clothing to keep themselves warm and dry will participating in Outdoor PE.

School suggest:

jogging bottoms or leggings

jumper or sweatshirt

trainers or school shoes (if appropriate)

waterproof jacket or school jacket (if appropriate)

Outdoor PE kit does not have to be kept in school as many pupils may wish to wear their trainers, clothing or jackets at home.  The class teacher will inform pupils as to when they will require their outdoor kit.

Please contact the school if you require further information.
