Outdoor Learning
When emerging from lockdown we need to take the opportunity to do things differently – in our personal lives and in our education system. Learning for Sustainability and connecting young people to nature and their local environment should become a priority - it always should have been a priority but we’d become too focused on attainment and exam results. If nothing else we need to remember how important our outdoor spaces have become, how good they make us feel and what a rich and varied learning environment they are.
When planning to reopen our schools Outdoor Learning needs to be at the heart of those plans. Using school grounds, local green spaces and the wider local environment for learning, will not only allow groups of children to social distance more easily, but will provide opportunities for rich, varied and meaningful learning.
Why the contribution is important
It's vital to connect our children to nature and the outdoor environment - we need them to value and protect it.
