Homework – 30.06.21

As it is Outdoor Learning Week in school, we have decided to theme our homework around this too!

Outdoor Learning Challenge | Primary 4a 20/21

Mr Jackson and Mrs Lees have come up with a fantastic competition where the children are being asked to design and create a map of our school’s new Outdoor Learning Area. We want to know what the children would like to be included in the new outdoor area and thought it would be brilliant if the children could draw a plan to show their amazing ideas.

Here is the poster that has been created to give you a little more information about the competition:

The children’s entries can also be used as evidence to achieve the John Muir award and also give Mr Jackson some inspiration when it comes to creating the area ready for September!

This homework is to be handed in on Monday 5th July 2021.

If you have any issues, please do not hesitate to contact me via email โ€“ caroline.bagshaw@taw.org.uk

Happy designing!
