The Wildlife Area Project - 2020!

The Summer Term ​of 2020 has been a very 'unique' term with many new arrangements to how our school day runs. As always the staff and children have taken this challenge in their stride. A natural project was spotted of renovating the current wildlife area. This renovation has developed into a full scale project which will now involve all the stakeholders of the school including members of the community.

Learning Outside the Classroom at Holland Haven Primary School 
​

Hadley Wood is an established site at Holland Haven used for Forest Schools and themed outdoor learning lessons. See the forest school page for further information.

The introduction of Hadley Hills
We worked 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 included the introduction of loose parts play in Hadley Hills and further plans for grass pathways and natural dens. Hadley Hills is used at lunchtimes, as well as other parts of the learning day, to develop aspects of problem solving and imaginative, safe risk-taking play.

All pupils participate in a Forest School session (EYFS, KS1 and LKS2) or themed outdoor lesson (UKS2) at least every 3 weeks/1 day a week for a term, in addition to other opportunities taken to enhance the school day such as play on Hadley Hills at lunchtimes.

Rainy Weather
Our outdoor classrooms - Hadley Hills and Hadley Woods - will continue to be used to support learning and play through the autumn and winter seasons. Minimum requirement for outdoor-learning kit: a coat and a change of shoes - ideally wellies and a plastic bag to store them in when they are wet and muddy. Pupils are welcome to bring a whole change of clothes; this could be an old pair of trousers and a jumper or an all-in one waterproof to go over school uniform.
