There are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors with your class and they don't all need to be time consuming. Simply bringing your lunch outdoors or outdoor DEAR time can be a great start. Why not just go outside for 5- 10 minutes and listen to the sounds around you?
Here are some ideas to help when bringing your class outdoors.

I have been contemplating setting up a Summer course for the past number of years and this year I finally did it. I have a great interest in the outodoor clasroom and want to share that with others.
The course is aimed at teachers who are looking to gain confidence in promoting the outdoor classroom. Each day will focus on hands-on activities where participants will create bird feeders, biodegradable pots, tree trails and much more. I want teachers to leave the course with a better undertsanding of nature and confidence to bring this into their teaching, a folder containing useful resources and some examples of items that they can create with their classes. As you can probably imagine it is quite difficult to promote a course when you are not part of a college or education centre. I would really appreciate it if people could share this around!! |
