Discover the cross-curricular learning possibilities in your school grounds and further afield
The ‘great outdoors’ offers children an inspiring environment teeming with ready-made resources – from buzzing bees to towering trees. Whatever your school’s outside space, there is great opportunity for cross-curricular learning outdoors. This topic invites children to take ownership of a section of their school grounds to encourage wildlife. As well as the expected links to science and geography, learning links are also made with D&T and literacy, and PSHE with the various opportunities for teamwork. Don’t forget to access the accompanying online resources that include a Poster and Activity sheets, as well as an exciting Interactive resource , ‘Find the habitats’ that features sound effects, videos and pop-up facts.
