PHOTOS TO ADD

Learning with our hands
Using tools with guidance helps children develop practical skills, concentration and an understanding of how to work safely.


A conker challenge
Drilling and threading conkers combines careful tool use with a playful activity, giving children a chance to practise patience and precision.


Building together
Den building encourages children to share ideas, solve problems and test how well their construction works.


A different view
Tree climbing offers opportunities to assess a challenge, make careful choices and build confidence through outdoor exploration.


Creating with nature
Leaves, sticks, seeds and other natural materials become starting points for imaginative creations and close observation.


Discovering fire skills
With adult guidance, children explore fire steels and learn about the care and safety needed around a fire.

&nbsp;

Gathering around the fire
Preparing a snack around the fire brings practical learning, shared responsibility and the enjoyment of being outdoors together.


Homes for small creatures
Creating a bug hotel encourages children to think about habitats and take practical steps to support wildlife.


Helping hedgehogs
Building a sheltered space for hedgehogs connects children&rsquo;s care for animals with action in our school grounds.


Turning leaves into something useful
Collecting leaves for leaf mulch helps children explore natural cycles and discover how garden materials can be reused.


Planting for the future
Collecting and planting tree seeds encourages curiosity, patience and responsibility as children wait, observe and care for new growth.
