Outdoor Classroom Day – May 18
Since its establishment in 2011, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown into a globally recognised event, with hundreds of schools participating around the world. This special day highlights the importance of outdoor learning and play, offering children valuable experiences that enhance creativity, imagination, and social skills through hands-on activities in nature.
Outdoor learning opens up new dimensions for teaching, providing opportunities for lessons that go beyond the traditional classroom. Here are just a few ideas for outdoor lessons:
- Art: Create landscape scenes or use natural materials for creative projects.
- Science: Study plant growth, explore pollution effects, or examine different habitats.
- Math: Measure heights, calculate areas, or practice percentages in a real-world context.
- Nature or Number Hunts: Engage students with fun scavenger hunts for natural items or mathematical clues.
- Geography: Explore the local area to learn about its geography or local recycling practices.
- Weather: Build a weather station and track weather patterns.
