Muddy Puddles
"The world beyond the classroom walls offers endless opportunities for children to explore, learn, and grow."
What is Muddy Puddles?
In essence, Muddy Puddles is taking learning outside to the great outdoors. Learning outdoors is beneficial to all children, enabling them to foster responsibility and ownership of their learning. Children will learn; how to spot and manage hazards, keep themselves and others safe, problem-solving skills, creative and critical thinking skills, teamwork and much more. Muddy Puddles sessions take place in our Outdoor Classroom on the school field and cabin.

What does my child need?
All children should have waterproof trousers and wellies, ideally kept in school. We go out in any weather (as long as it is safe) and your child will need weather-appropriate clothing, e.g. a warm coat in winter.
