When researching about outdoor classrooms I came across a blog called
outdoorclassroom.wordpress.com and the blog is called The Outdoor Classroom @
Rhyl. The first picture and caption that caught my eye said “Massive Baking
Session in Outdoor Classroom” and the
picture below was beneath it.
From reading and scrolling through the blog there are many great
pictures of what their outdoor classroom looks like. I saw pictures of assembly’s and ceremonies
that they have in their outdoor classroom and I thought that was really inspiring
and beautiful. Another picture and
caption I came across was “ Community links- building a garden with a local
school”. The picture below.
I think it is amazing that students from this school want to help out
and making the outdoor learning environment better for another local school. As
well I think it is important for communities to come together and support one
another and it is beneficial for children to learn this at a young age.
This last picture I would like to show is really inspiring to me. The
first one is a wood fired pizza oven covered in a mosaic pattern located in the
outdoor classroom. The school uses this oven to
teach children about baking and cooking, and they use it as a community
resource for events. I think having this oven is a fantastic idea that actually
allows the children to really “get their hands dirty” and enjoy their learning
and experiences directly in front of them. I think this idea gives children the
notion that they really can achieve things if they are given the opportunity.
Lastly this oven brings the community together and through that I believe that
people make connections with their environments and the people that surround
them.
I think that this is an amazing blog, and if you get a chance check it
out! Just from reading this blog I think that Rhyl Primary School is amazing
and that the children who go to this school really benefitting from having an
outdoor learning environment and a close nit community that supports them.
