I chose to review this blog as I believe learning in the outdoors is an essential context to aid children learn in an additional way from the classroom. Outdoor learning provides motivation to learn, develops skills and independence and learning in the outdoor environment is a first hand experience which can make subjects more vivid and interesting which will in turn enhance understanding. This blog provides numerous ideas regarding outdoor activities to support the learning process. Blog posts including learning outdoors with poor weather conditions, taking children beyond school grounds to develop their skills and problem solving and how to allow children to regenerate school playing grounds into a safer environment. The blog also provides advice for incorporating numeracy and literacy lessons in the outdoor environment to make learning more engaging and exciting! Julia Robertson is an educational consultant who's aims are to deliver training, provide speeches, lead and support innovative outdoor projects and writing informative documents all which are provided with the sole intention of improving teachers awareness to the endless possibilities of learning outdoors. This blog has value as I think learning in the outdoors is a key component for primary school children as it provides an element of risk, physical and social exploration and the ability to learn for themselves. I advise all educational students to read this blog as it will benefit them greatly with teaching in the future!
