‘Outdoor Ed’ is a performance poem that can be used to celebrate your school’s outdoor environment as an extension to the classroom. It can be used during an assembly to introduce an outdoor learning week where children are given the opportunity to share their own ideas about the learning that could take place outside, just like Ed did.

Many teachers, I mean children, love a snow day. Share this original poem with your class as they anticipate the first snowfall of the year. This may spark a discussion about the conditions that are needed for snowfall and looking at weather forecasts.
