‘Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning, at home and at school. On Outdoor Classroom Day itself, which has two dates each year, teachers celebrate with a special day outdoors for their class.

Children are spending less time outdoors than ever before and this is affecting their health, wellbeing and development. Time outdoors – on Outdoor Classroom Day and every day – will make children happier and healthier, as well as equipping them with the skills they need for life’.

Here at Lime Tree we celebrate our love of outdoor learning at every opportunity taking all areas of the curriculum outside of the classroom by providing the most engaging, hands-on, learning experiences possible. Our outdoor team are passionate and enthusiastic about an outdoors approach, and they work with teachers and pupils on a daily basis to constantly develop and improve our use of the fantastic setting we boast as our school grounds.
