Throughout the day, students
remained outdoors engaged in
various activities that involved
observation, research and fun.
Reflecting on the Outdoor
Classroom Day, Ms. Nora, our ES
counselor writes, “The Outdoor
Classroom Day was a success.
Teachers expressed positive
feedback after seeing their
students being engaged with
the outdoors. As a school that is
focused on nurturing students’
wellbeing, there is a need to invest
more time in practices that reflect
our vision for the children as well
as that of teaching and learning. In
the outdoors, children as learners
have more time to explore at their
own pace, use their imagination,
and practice and apply various
transdisciplinary skills.”
The day ended with an outdoor
student led assembly in
which students made various
presentations, and of course, they
had time to take their favorite
‘Selfie with the Principals’.
“Nature breeds curiosity,” Nora
adds “...and this is what we want
for our students; to become
lifelong learners with the right
dispositions that allow them
to face the challenges of the
unknown future. With more
teachers extending on the
Outdoor classroom Day, and
planning for more opportunities
for outdoor learning, our students
will continue to flourish while
making use of our
beautiful campus.”
