Fantastical Forest - A Whole School Approach to Outdoor Learning

This session will show how two schools worked together to promote children’s learning in the outside classroom, showing joint good practice in facilitating the different areas of the curriculum in a holistic way. Both schools worked with 'Earthship Calling' a group of environmental teachers to enhance our very different outside provisions. This involved both schools taking on a responsible citizen approach through Science and Health and Well being. A big input in ECO issues was also evident in the children’s planning.
