Outdoor learning provides rich opportunities for curiosity, exploration, and connection, and our Early Learning students recently embraced these experiences with enthusiasm.
Early Learning Erina had their Education Outdoors Experience on Tuesday 25 March at the Wetlands, offering a wonderful introduction to the space ahead of Bush Learning in Term 2. Through activities such as a ropes course, bug hunting, a tree walk, and sound mapping, children engaged their senses and deepened their appreciation for the natural world.
Early Learning Elphin explored Scotch Oakburn Park on Thursday 27 March, where they took part in imaginative play with canoes, obstacle courses, water play, parachute activities and time in bell tents. Water play emerged as a firm favourite, with children embracing the joy of splashing, pouring, and experimenting with different elements.
These Outdoor Education experiences provide valuable opportunities for children to strengthen relationships, build confidence, and connect with their environment. We extend our thanks to the Education Outdoors team for their dedication in leading these sessions. It was also wonderful to see so many families share in these moments, highlighting the strong sense of community at Scotch Oakburn College.
