In the Foundation Stage, we have a large and inviting, shaded outdoor classroom dedicated to learning through play. Here you will find a cycling track, slides and climbing equipment, a mud kitchen, water and sand fun, as well as areas that you would find in an indoor classroom such as reading, role-play, construction, creative, numeracy and literacy areas.
The space has been carefully designed, and is set up daily, to promote all areas of children’s development and to enhance learning opportunities. The area is surrounded and interspersed with planters, filled with a variety of flowers and vegetables, which invite the children to observe what happens in a living and changing environment and to enjoy the well-being benefits of being outdoors in nature.
