Produktbeschreibung

This fascinating book equips readers with the ability to reconnect children with nature while enhancing their academic achievement. It offers ready-to-use schemes of work with cross-curricular applications and real-world case studies to show how outdoor spaces can be transformed into powerful learning environments that promote connection with nature while delivering curriculum objectives more effectively.

Although outdoor learning has the ability to boost children's motivation, wellbeing, and engagement, many teachers often lack the confidence, time, and structure to implement it effectively. Learning Indoors and Out in the Primary School offers a practical solution: a strategic framework that seamlessly integrates outdoor experiences with classroom instruction. This essential resource provides primary educators with a whole-school approach that ensures progression in skills and knowledge across all learning environments - from classrooms to school grounds, local areas, field trips, and residentials. The author provides practical strategies that work in tandem with existing curriculum requirements and clear guidance for teachers and leadership teams on establishing sustainable outdoor learning practices.

This comprehensive guide empowers any teacher or school leader to weave outdoor learning into the very fabric of their school, creating more engaging, immersive experiences for all learners.
