Out There is a project that celebrates the extraordinary and the obvious and maximises one of the most valuable resources: your own doorstep. Venturing beyond the school gate, stepping out into the outside world, learning professionals guide the children around their square mile, listening, watching and experiencing the world around them. What’s that? What is it for? Who lives there? ……… many questions that can lead to discovery and knowledge about the children’s own locality and their experience of it.

The teacher delivering these activities must familiarise him/herself with the Outdoor Learning Cards prior to undertaking the lessons in this unit. The lessons here are pitched at an average ability level, but there may be requirements to adapt the lesson to different classes. The differentiation and progression sections on the O.L.C’s will aid in this process.
