zigzag Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi all, we recently held our jubilee party in our new building and it was the first time that some of the parents had spent any time in our outdoor area. It was great to hear so many positive comments about what a great space it was as we have worked hard on this area during the last five months. I did however hear a couple of parents comment that they can see why their children come home dirty and dusty!!! This is because our hill and tunnel area needs re-turfing and is down to bare soil/dust, we are not going to do this until the summer holidays as the children would have to stay off it. Anyway I have got lots of photos of all the children and activities that we do outside and want to make a positive display for parents. I would like to put some comments around the display that makes it clear what the children are learning and gaining from being outside. I just wondered what everyone else would consider to be the most important statements to put? Also does anyone have a poem about the benefits of being outside? that I could add. Look forward to reading your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I put lots of pictures and comments about learning experiences that could only take place outside, and what learning we got from it on our 'Why outdoors' dsiplay. I also put comments from the EYFS about the importance of outdoor play to back it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
