Episode 107: The Outdoor Classroom
🎙️🎧 Episode 107 IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎧🎙️
Join Shána as she chats with Laura and Celia from Everyday Play about the power of outdoor learning in early years settings.
In this episode, we explore the key differences between an outdoor classroom and a simple outdoor area, and why that distinction matters for children’s development. Laura and Celia share what makes outdoor environments so unique, supporting curiosity, risk-taking, physical development, and deeper engagement with learning.
We also tackle one of the biggest challenges practitioners face: the weather. From practical solutions for storage and shelter to making the most of water play all year round, this conversation is packed with realistic, achievable ideas.
You’ll hear their top tips, favourite outdoor setups, and real-life case studies that bring outdoor provision to life. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to enhance your current space, there’s something here for everyone.
A must-listen for anyone passionate about meaningful outdoor learning.
