As the Forest School movement gains popularity among UK
educators, teachers are increasingly recognising the benefits of
creative outdoor play. But how can busy primary school teachers fit
regular, high quality outdoor learning into an already crowded
timetable? How can they plan a range of rich, imaginative and
creative experiences that build up into full topics? And how can
they translate the excitement and engagement that they find out
doors into increased enthusiasm and attainment indoors?
Learning on Your Doorstep integrates creative outdoor play with
curricular attainment, while increasing the challenge, enjoyment
and professional development of the teachers using it. The book
presents a series of topics which channel the children s outdoor
experience into writing outcomes to reflect the current Primary
Framework for Literacy. Using child-led, kinaesthetic teaching and
learning techniques, each topic helps teacher and class build an
imaginary world to explore and includes:
- Session plan tables to enable teachers to easily access
relevant information;
- collaborative activities, games and drama to stimulate
discussion;
- photo-copiable items such as letters, imaginary maps and animal
fact jigsaws;
- optional classroom follow-up activities and a final writing
task;
- tips on how to prepare and resource each session.
Guidance on adapting for different abilities and ages is also
given, along with curriculum links and pedagogical rationale, to
let primary teachers put creative outdoor play at the centre of the
primary teaching timetable.
The ideas in this book are suitable for implementation in any
school environment, using resources commonly found in the stock
cupboard or home. All you will need to add is some preparation and
imagination
