Year 4 Outdoor Learning Curriculum
The children access the outdoor environment via organised residentials, projects and gardening activities with a focus on identifying noticeable plants and animals. The Escot residential is intended to be a continuation of the skills they developed whilst at Forest School, allowing them to engage with the outdoors with the entire year group.
- Engage with the outdoors through swamp walk and night hikes – working together to identify noticeable plants and animals.
- Learn about animals of Britain and how they are useful to the ecosystem.
- Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
- Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
- Explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment
- Grow the necessary vegetables to create a main meal to eat
