SRC in the Primary School

On Thursday 2 November, the Primary School celebrated Outdoor Classroom Day. The Student Representatives enjoyed providing the teachers with a variety of activities to support the initiative in their Form Classes over the week, and loved promoting learning outdoors as part of a global movement to make time outdoors part of every child’s day to play and learn.

Outdoor Classroom Day is an initiative supporting the evidence that learning outside of the classroom engages and excites children and is key to improving children’s health, wellbeing and happiness, and is an essential part of their development.

Some of the benefits of learning and playing outside include enhanced social skills and collaborative skills, better engagement with learning, and overall happiness.

The SRC team created an additional initiative that encouraged families to partake in a nature walk and collect natural materials and resources to make a display to be showcased in the Fairy Garden in the Primary School. Our team was so impressed by the creations submitted, and we can’t wait to present the participants with an award to acknowledge their contributions.
