Outdoor learning

Each term every class has one Monday afternoon of outdoor learning with Mrs Clark and their class teacher.  This is because we believe that children’s physical and emotional well-being are paramount if we want them to learn.  Being outdoors, appreciating nature and noticing seasonal changes is something that we want our children at Wootton Bassett Infant’s School to always discuss and enjoy. 

This includes a physical and active warm up followed by a focus book. The children will then spend time observing their natural environment closely. After that they will complete an activity outdoors.

Finally, they will complete outdoor yoga and mindfulness before ending the session.

We started our outdoor learning by getting physical and playing leaf tag.  We loved sitting and listening to a story outside.

We love outdoor learning and sometimes we will get mucky so make sure you remember your outdoor clothes on your day!
