Geography and Nature School

Nature School has strong cross- curricular links with geography also. We inspire children’s curiosity and fascination about the natural world and this will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Each child is able to experience the seasons and weather patterns for themselves accessing outdoor learning throughout the year and in all weathers, except in high winds of course! The Silfield Oak tree is a key feature in supporting our understanding of seasonal changes.

Design and Technology and Nature School

Nature School has strong cross- curricular links with design and technology. Within Nature School we use our creativity and imagination to design and solve real and relevant problems. We use an open fire to cook, learning where our food comes from and about foraging. We use hand tools to whittle wood found locally, creating our own designs.
