The National Curriculum Outdoors: KS1 cover

The National Curriculum Outdoors: KS1 presents a series of photocopiable lesson plans that effectively link curriculum objectives for each primary subject with motivating outdoor learning, enabling pupils to experience the health and wellbeing benefits of learning in the natural environment.

Part of the National Curriculum Outdoors series, aimed at improving outside-the-classroom learning for children from Year 1 to Year 6

Teaching outside the classroom improves pupils' engagement with learning as well as their health and wellbeing, but how can teachers link curriculum objectives effectively with enjoyable and motivating outdoor learning in Key Stage 1? The National Curriculum Outdoors: KS1 presents a series of photocopiable lesson plans that address each primary curriculum subject, whilst enriching pupils with the benefits of learning in the natural environment.

Outdoor learning experts Sue Waite, Michelle Roberts and Deborah Lambert provide inspiration for primary teachers to use outdoor contexts as part of their everyday teaching and showcase how headteachers can embed curriculum teaching outside throughout the school, whilst protecting teaching time and maintaining high-quality teaching and performance standards. All of the Key Stage 1 curriculum lessons have been tried and tested successfully in schools and can be adapted and developed for school grounds and local natural environments. What's more, each scheme of work in this all-encompassing handbook includes primary curriculum objectives; intended learning outcomes; warm-up and main activities; plenary guidance; natural connections; ICT and PSHE links; and word banks.

Please note that the PDF eBook version of this book cannot be printed or saved in any other format. It is intended for use on interactive whiteboards and projectors only.

These books are a timely and welcome addition to help primary teachers grow their confidence and competence to undertake great teaching - outdoors! -- Juliet Robertson * former headteacher and education consultant specialising in outdoor learning, @CreativeSTAR *
Enough to convince even the hardened ‘indoor’ teacher that the outdoors has much to offer and these books give a step by step introduction of how it can be incorporated into their scheme of work along with their other planning. Overall I have been really impressed with this series. -- Craig Armiger * Blogger, craigarmiger.wordpress.com *
The National Curriculum Outdoors books are a fantastic resource for primary schools. [...] The books enable teachers to use their whole school sites and local areas as their learning spaces, and encourage active, imaginative and engaging curriculum teaching and learning. -- Dave Scourfield * Education Visits Coordinator *
I love these books so much [...] All the teachers in my school are using them because the activities work with whole class groups. -- Colette Morris * Primary school Headteacher *
Teachers felt inspired by the creative way in which they could deliver these national curriculum outcomes and in particular, the subject areas you wouldn’t necessarily think about teaching outdoors such as music and RE. -- Louise Edwards * Manager, Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development *
What a great manual. This book really is the complete scheme of work it professes to be. It is a positive manual for both teacher and child -- LoveReading4Schools
