Outdoor Classroom Day

Anyone who has seen the impact that learning and playing outdoors has on children knows how powerful such experiences can be. Learning outdoors creates lasting memories, helps build a greater awareness of the environment, provides more opportunities to think independently, and gets children feeling challenged and excited by learning. Children are more active when they play outdoors; It is essential for their healthy development and enjoyment of childhood.

Help get children learning and playing outside on Thursday 18 May. For some schools, this will be an opportunity to try learning outside the classroom for the first time. For outdoor learning pros, the day will be a celebration of what they are doing already and a chance to inspire other schools to get involved. For everyone, Outdoor Classroom Day will show how easy and amazing it is to spend time outdoors

Brilliant New Resource: Outdoor Learning,Timelines and History

Follow the link below to a great new resource for Outdoor Learning:-

http://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/managing/work-on-scotlands-national-forest-estate/conservation/archaeology/learning/outdoor-archaeological-learning

This learning resource is full of great content, with advice and guidance supporting a range of activity suggestions, from time lines to graphic stories (the Celtic myth of The Sorrow of Derdriu and the Anglo-Saxon legend of Beowulf) and cut out models. It’s all based around the idea of going to visit an archaeological or historic site, recording and discussing it, then creating an interpretative poster with both factual text and creative drawing and writing.

This resource is intended for anyone taking groups of children to an archaeological site: teachers, youth group leaders and archaeological educators.

New Celtic Rainforest Resource Available!

 

Secrets of the Celtic Rainforest is a Plantlife Scotland project raising awareness of the international importance of these forests and unlocking the secrets of the unique species that dwell within them.

Storytelling in the woods

Knightsridge primary 5 did storytelling within a local forest, a few minutes walk from the school. This provided an atmospheric and lasting impression on the pupils for the reading of the Scottish Myths they had prepared.

These Stories were created in class and read-out at the forest. The previous week the children had picked three objects from a bag: two magical objects and a character. These were then used to create the stories.
