Outdoor Classroom Day

This afternoon we learned all about different drama techniques! We had great fun working together to create freeze frames, mimes and role play! 🎭🌳 #OutdoorClassroomDay

We enjoyed working on our body language and facial expressions to show our audience different emotions and feelings! 🎭😱 #OutdoorClassroomDay

This morning we took our learning of measuring lengths and heights outside to the playground where we measured a range of things within our setting! 📏🤩 #OutdoorClassroomDay

It was another amazing #OutdoorClassroomDay 🥳

The continued success of the campaign relies on the incredible educators, parents, and guardians who take children outdoors in support of this important cause. Thank you 💚 We hope you'll join us again for the next Outdoor Classroom Day on May 21, 2026!

Children walk to an outdoor meeting spot to hear about their morning choices. There are tools ready to use and a small sign listing 3 groups of choices.

Two thirds of schools who have participated in Outdoor Classroom Day over the years have increased their outdoor learning and play time since getting involved." The Outdoor Classroom Day logo is overlaid in the bottom right corner.

Children are spending less time outdoors than ever before, affecting their health, limiting nature connection, and depriving them of important ways of learning from the world around them!

#OutdoorClassroomDay helps more children to enjoy the benefits of time outdoors, and not just on campaign days!

For outdoor classroom day, P5 went outside and practiced there timetables ✖️➗

Learning and playing outdoors during the school day supports good mental health, improves education outcomes, and empowers children to take action for our planet 🌍

A group of seven children stand outdoors in a Tiny Forest, each holding up a small plant or mud sculpture. They are dressed in casual, colourful clothing and rain boots, with greenery and a wooden fence in the background. The scene conveys a sense of playful exploration and outdoor activity.

Four children stand in a Tiny Forest amidst tree saplings, holding clipboards and measuring tapes, as they engage in citizen science activities.

A dark green background features a quote in white and lime green text: "We're thrilled to see how schools across the UK are using our Tiny Forests as outdoor classrooms. From going on bug hunts to measuring trees, getting their hands muddy when testing for soil health... and did I mention playing music to the trees and shadow drawing? There are so many activities that give children a chance to connect with nature, to become citizen scientists, and for teachers to take the curriculum outdoors into these living laboratories." The author is Divya Kumar, Community Engagement Manager at Earthwatch Europe.

🌳🐞This #OutdoorClassroomDay, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all the schools across the UK who have engaged in our Nature In Cities programmes.
