“I would advise anyone seeking to develop their school grounds to begin by watching theirchildren play outdoors…the children’s interests and needs should be the basis of any plan.”
Jeanne O’Keeffe is Assistant Headteacher at Oxclose Nursery in Durham
“At all opportunities involve autistic children and adults actively outdoors. The changes inthem have been tremendous. Searching for insects and wild flowers works well and let themtake photographs of the things they find so later they can show others and talk about it. Thishelps to build confidence, improve self-esteem and develop communication skills.”
Roger Parkinson is Woodland Creation Champion and Volunteer Speaker for the WoodlandTrust.
“Look at your provision and try to find a patch of land (grass if possible) that you can adopt asyour own outdoor learning area. Once you have a patch, let the children help you to developit into a space that is theirs.”
Simon Poote is a Foundation Stage Teacher at Long Crendon School in Buckinghamshire
Advice from the nominees for Best LOtC Educator
“Get out with the kids and do things that teach them about the things they see every day butdon't see.”
Leila Atkins is Learning Outside the Classroom Co-ordinator at Castle Wood School inCoventry
“There’s nothing like getting ‘hands on’ – just talking to children loses their concentration. Ifthey’re making seed bombs, pony grooming, egg collecting or bottle-feeding lambs, it’s mucheasier to teach husbandry of the animals and how we look after and feed them.”
Nick Hastings is Head Stockperson at Walby Farm Park
“Children are naturally inquisitive and when you let the children lead the learning, it is afantastic experience for all.”
Stephanie Thorlby is an Outdoor Instructor at Sayers Croft
Advice from the nominees for Lifetime Achievement in LOtC
“As practitioners our job is throwing pebbles in the pool – we never see how far the ripples goor where they end up, but we should always know we have started something.”
Alison Gagg is Education Manager at Buckfast Abbey
“Children who have developed the confidence, the enthusiasm, spirit of enquiry, the breadthof mind and all the other attributes that learning outside the classroom confers are far morelikely to achieve than those whose sole learning experience is from a desk in front of a white-board.”
Philip Stephenson is a Fellow of Homerton College, Cambridge
“Get the teacher to brief the class before they visit the farm, so they have an idea of what toexpect. Asking them to prepare some questions that they can ask is helpful.”
Martin Stevenson Birse is Farm Manager at Pitgaveny Farms
