Outdoor Teaching

Why consider an Outdoor Teaching Space?

Outdoor classrooms can expand the outdoor learning experience for all our children. Teachers consistently report that children respond well to learning that takes place outside the classroom even when the weather is far from enticing. This has proved particularly true for investigation and observation of their immediate environment and here our sensory and investigation pages will offer ideas and inspiration to provide year round interest.

With the emphasis on getting children outside either as part of free flow play or to provide a different perspective, shade and shelter during hot days is vital and a colourful umbrella or a canopy will be effective in protecting teaching staff, children and play equipment and is particularly attractive when furnished with simple seating. A Teaching Pergola or Gazebo comes in a number of designs to suit your needs and even where outside space is at a premium, a multi-functional area can be a very useful resource and as elaborate or simple as suits your needs and budget.

But if your requirement is for a defined space to retain the classroom atmosphere for learning, our design for Temple Mill is easily adapted. We can include enclosed walls, educational panels and whiteboards or distinct areas set up for particular subjects and so provide a multifunctional teaching and learning space tailored to your wants.
