Outdoor Adventurers
Our bespoke outdoor curriculum gives children the opportunity to connect or reconnect with the world around them and find balance. Children learn best when they are moving and able to explore and be creative. Our programme offers everyone the opportunity to shine and enjoy learning in a relaxed and open-ended way.
Outdoor story sessions
Our story sessions are rooted in timeless children's stories, which act as a springboard for play, fun and learning.
Imaginative retelling
Whether they're going on a bear hunt, looking for the Gruffalo or talking with Stick Man, our children let their imaginations run wild.
Making
Children take advantage of nature's best resources, crafting caves, crowns, bird feeders and bug hotels out of leaves, plants, sticks and mud.
Exploration
Young adventurers learn all about the book's featured wildlife, applying scientific principles to measure worms, listen to birdcall and spot animal tracks.
Rules of the Forest
Our outdoor sessions also give our explorers a framework, practicing crucial life skills such as respecting boundaries and safety practices.
Equipment Safety
We utilise tools and teach all children how to safely use them - holding them in the correct position and in the dominant hand.
Listening
Children listen to and understand our rules, regularly reviewing them and recalling them as a group.
Boundaries
Children are actively involved in checking the area before we start our session, so they know where the safe boundaries are.
Extended Learning
Outdoor Adventurers provides practical, real-life experiences that teach children new skills and further their appreciation of the world around them.
Growing
Planting and observing growth and change, is a crucial part of learning for children - teaching them about seasonality, food and the critical sources of life on earth.
Wildlife
Observing animals and their habitats supports children's understanding of their world, and the importance of treating living things with respect and care.
Home learning
Our Outdoor Adventurers programme also provides activity inspiration for fun at home, giving parents opportunities to further their child's learning.
Singing in the great outdoors
Alongside our story led sessions, children celebrate music and rhythm with our Outdoor Adventurers Song and Rhyme collection.
Wellbeing
Singing in groups is scientifically proven to improve mental health and – when combined with fresh air and nature –helps children feel a sense of connection and balance.
Phonological awareness
As well as listening to the natural world, children develop an awareness of the varying acoustics outside, hearing how noises and songs resonate in different ways.
Rhythm and rhyme
As they sing, children are encouraged to create percussive sounds with their hands and feet and natural resources, to develop their senses of rhythm and coordination
