Peel Primary Outdoor Learning Days
It has been a very busy week for Outdoor Learning all over West Lothian, lots going on!
We were helping get teachers and classes outside for a couple of days to test the local green spaces around Peel primary last week.
Every class in the school managed to get out over the two days to try some Synonym Orienteering or den building or story telling with magical objects. All worked out very well.
Thanks to the great staff for an excellent couple of days.

Why Outdoor Learning?
The Natural Connections Demonstration project has published evidence on the benefits of outdoor learning to pupils, teachers and schools.
Children from 125 schools across the South West of England are happier, healthier and more motivated to learn thanks to a new project commissioned by Natural England that has turned the outdoors into a classroom and helped schools transform ways of teaching.
The project, which is funded by Natural England, Defra and Historic Englandand delivered by Plymouth University, is the largest project of its kind in England and has already helped more than 40,000 primary and secondary school pupils get out of their classrooms and into the outdoors – whether that’s a maths lesson in a local park or drama out on the school field.
