December 2025

Ambassadors were very excited to report back their findings regarding outdoor learning.

What is working well	What needs improving?
Lots of outdoor space around school Towneley Park on the doorstep EYFS and Year 1 have outdoor provision that allows outdoor learning and investigation all year round The teachers like being outside and teaching outside	Lower down the school (yr 3 and below) seem to do more outdoor learning than the rest of the school. Look at sequencing docs to see how we can add it into more year groups Resources – we don’t have a lot of ‘stuff’ to properly investigate. We will makes a list of resources to buy

The ambassadors were very vocal about the positive things within their science lessons in school.
Lots of opportunity for outdoor learning in the lower years, need to look at KS2 for more outdoor learning ideas and add to sequencing docs
Discussed the Sensory Science Shed outdoors. I explained this would be accessible for all year groups and teachers could book the slots – everyone agreed and thought this would be a great idea. All weather outdoor learning.
New resources were discussed for outside – I asked the ambassadors to think about what they would like to see and how we can link it to each year groups learning – will discuss resource ideas at the next meeting.

Next meeting – February 2026 – to decide on outdoor resources, our Easter competition and British Science Week ideas.
