Scarlettangel Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 When we have the police hats out the boys want to write on a note pad!!!!!!!!! We have a dino topic going on at present and Terry (Terry Rex) the inflatable dino likes letters and he has a line there by him for you to peg a letter to!!!! Very popular. In Dora's Den there are letters too for Dora and Diego! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I did a google search: "boys writing outdoors" quite a list of links here's some of them; BGFL FOREST SCHOOL PROJECT on BOYS WRITING Raising Boys achievements Pocket Pal Boys & writing Teachers Guide from Amazon outdoor education research A-Z Looks like there is a lot to read up on this subject, from my quick scan reading it also appears that outdoor provision seems to be very positive for improving boys outcomes in wriing.
