Though @LtL_News and our amazing partners run the campaign behind the scenes, #OutdoorClassroomDay is nothing without the incredible educators that choose to take children outdoors in support of this important cause 💚 Thank you for this year and all the years to come!

[Saint Charles’ Primary & LCR @StCharlesGla]

For #OutdoorClassroomDay, P4 took inspiration from all the work they have completed during their @OVOEnergy #Biodiversity project this term @childrens_wood. They used different materials and large loose parts to create habitats for native Scottish animals. We had a badgers sett, a fox den, a shelter for red squirrels and a nest for birds. They even had a barn for Highland cattle. @OutdoorClassUKI

P2 spent Outdoor Classroom Day drawing pentagons and hexagons and jumping and counting in 2s on a chalk number line.

Brilliant to welcome @crookstoncastle primary to the Castle today for #OutdoorClassroomDay

They got a hands-on history lesson, joining in the work of finding and recording the Castle's masons' marks.

P2 read the #OceanExpress story today in #STEM then took a train ride around the playground, stopping to draw what they could see at the different destinations. #StemAStory #OutdoorLearning @STEMglasgow @OutdoorClassUKI

When was your first #OutdoorClassroomDay?

[Saint Charles’ Primary & LCR @StCharlesGla]

As it’s @OutdoorClassUKI Primary 7 went outdoors to use #LooseParts to build dens in the playground. They used @leaderinme Habit 6: #Synergize to work in teams to build structures that would protect them from the elements. #OutdoorLearning

[Strathyre Primary @strathyps1]

We are loving #outdoor classroom day @OutdoorClassUKI
So far we have been den building and making clay faces on the trees! #strathyreloveslearning #outdoorlearning

[Miss Flood & P4b Newark Primary @MissFloodNewark]

@OutdoorClassUKI day off to a great start today! We agreed to our outdoor learning classroom before learning a little bit about climate change. Next we went outside to find our quiz questions using grid references to find the questions on the map! We used teamwork to help us!💚

[Aitkenhead Primary School @AitkenheadS]

Primary 1 took their Numeracy outside today. We were ordering, writing and adding numbers. Some children even made patterns too. @OutdoorClassUKI

[Outdoor Classroom Day @OutdoorClassDay]

#OutdoorClassroomDay started with a single teacher — and look at us now! Even the tiniest actions can have a huge impact, which is why it's so important to get children and young people outdoors 🌿 Learn more about our humble beginnings on our website!
