Outdoor Learning

 

Welcome to the Outdoor Learning page. I am aware that if you are on this page, you are likely trying to find ways to bring outdoor learning indoors and it is possible! 

 

On this page, you will find links to various websites full of ideas and activities that you can do in the comfort of your own home. You will also find Mr Jackson's suggestions on ways you could upskill yourself for the learning we will be doing in school.

 

The links provided here are not an exhaustive list. Please email me any other links you are aware of that you feel would be valuable to share. Thank you in advance.

 

Please stay safe when you undertake any of these activities, taking into account the current government guidance.

Mr Jackson's Suggestions: 

  • Learn a new knot
  • Learn to identify any plants you can see from your window
  • Create a piece of art inspired by the natural world
  • Grow your own herbs and cook with them
  • Use the National Trust's 'Natures Calendar' to observe your local flora and fauna
  • Watch a wildlife webcam (links below)

 

These are just a few suggestions of ways you can engage with the natural world and upskill yourself for learning outdoors, indoors.

  • Animated knots One of the best ways to upskill ourselves for learning outside, is to learn some basic knots. When I want to learn a new knot I always use the website linked below. It has fantastic step-by-step guides on how to tie specific knots and also tells you where they could be used!
  • Growing herbs This website will provide you with some good adivce on growing your own herbs at home! I wonder if you could grow anything from the seeds you find in the fruits or vegetables themselves?
  • Primitive Technology by John Plant This is Mr Jackson's favourite YouTube channel. Get inspired by the way John construsts shelters, harvests produce, makes tools and even more! Even better, read his book!
  • Wildlife Webcams This is a great way to observe some of your favourite animals in their natual habitat! You have to be patient and if you're very lucky you will witness some really exciting activity
