I will demonstrate how the new National Curriculum’s Four purposes and AOLEs can be achieved through the use of outdoor learning and using the outdoor environment. But how do you translate that into classroom learning? I can provide INSET training to help integrate the outdoors into your school’s curriculum through meaningful experiences.

From start to finish the day focuses on the requirements of the G1 exam with reference to hydrological change.

Is you child stuck with their Geography or biology coursework? we are in the process or arranging our summer-school days for the summer holidays and Easter holidays to give children the opportunity to revise or undertake data collection for GCSE and A-level coursework in the Gower outdoors.

Individual investigation planning and data collection opportunities in a range of environs on Gower. Students will spend a day being introduced to the location and taught a range of data collection skills and techniques sited to the location.

The day is based in your school grounds and involves taking a walk around the school grounds to identify possible places where scientific enquiries can take place.

Using the range of habitats in the Gower we can investigate a range of numeracy reasoning skills integrated into a number of activities.

Field days will be designed around your class’s specific LNF and curriculum requirements. Foundation phase days will follow books as a basis for inspiration in speaking, listening, collaboration and discussion skills. For e.g. Tiddler for looking at retelling a story.
