Outside Classroom

Our outdoor classroom is an extension of the inside classroom as well as being a space in its own right.  It includes a garden where the children can grow flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Plants reflect a variety of flowers, leaf shapes, smells and colours. The activities and materials offered outside have just as much thought and care put into them as those offered inside.  There are opportunities for purposeful movement, order, communication and independence.  There are opportunities to practice and apply skills of care of self, care of others and care of the environment.  Some of these activities are cloth washing, sweeping, raking, planting and watering plants and tending to our worm farm. Materials from the inside classroom may be taken outside to work with.
