Exploring Edinbarnet’s fantastic new Outdoor Learning area!

Following the recent renovation of our infant playground, the boys and girls of primary 1 were excited to explore the new fantastic new outdoor learning resources that have been purchased to support and enhance the teaching and learning in the classroom. The children used this opportunity to consolidate what they had been learning in class throughout the week, across the different curricular areas.  

Using our planning board, the children planned in advance where they wanted to learn and what skills they would be applying/developing in the outdoor area.  Following their play session, the children were then given the opportunity to reflect on their learning using our reflection dice and encouraged to think about what their next steps would be to improve their learning.

Despite the chilly weather, the children were all engaged in their learning and used the new resources responsibly. It was lovely to see such high levels of enthusiasm, social interaction, creativity and problem solving amongst the children! The boys and girls are already looking forward to next week's outdoor learning session...although we are all keeping our fingers firmly crossed for some sunshine next time!
