Taking learning/ teaching outside keeps children engaged and able to enjoy the natural environment that surrounds them. Outdoor classrooms provide a healthy learning environment, and research shows that children who are exposed to nature tend to present higher levels of concentration and self-discipline; improved awareness, reasoning and observational skills, and also make further progress in reading, writing, maths and science – in addition to better at working in teams; and showed improved behaviour overall. The outdoor classroom also helps settings with social distancing, by providing a sheltered and multi-functional space.
