Outdoor Education at Greatwood

Here at Greatwood we are extremely fortunate to have Mr Magee, who is our qualified Outdoor Education leader, together, with the support of Mr French, they deliver our daily Outdoor Education programme.

Throughout the year all children from Year 2 to Year 6 take part in a three week programme designed to enhance the National Curriculum and give our children experiences and opportunities that they would not get to experience elsewhere.

This year some of the activities that the children will be experiencing are:

Planning and navigating a walk up Pendle Hill,

Walking,

Hiking,

Orienteering,

Fishing,

Den building,

Gardening,

Making a campfire and cooking on it,

Dry stone walling,

Plastering,

Den building,

Climbing,

Tree identification,

Joinery and much much more.
