Outdoor Learning
We are working with an Outdoor Learning Education Consultant to further develop the learning potential of our school grounds in order to facilitate learning across the curriculum. This will include the development of the shaded learning space around the ‘Storytelling chair’ in collaboration with a group of pupils, the introduction of loose parts play, grass pathways and natural dens; created by our gardening club and site manager, and a rope bridge in Hadley Hills. We are now using Hadley Hills at lunchtimes, as well as other parts of the learning day, and developing further aspects of problem solving and imaginative play through the initiatives outlined above. Hadley Hills Hadley Hills is open everyday at lunch times; each week will be allocated to a different phase. Pupils will need to change into their outdoor learning kit when it has been raining considerably, in order to use Hadley Hills. If the grass is dry, normal school uniform will be worn just with a change of shoes where needed. The area will be open every lunchtime, and break-times when the weather is fine, breaktime is only 15 minutes so if it's too wet, there isn't time for pupils to change. (For now, the area won’t be used if it is raining/snowing and pupils will be indoors in-line with usual ‘wet-play’ rules).
