The Great Outdoors

Welcome to the Woods! Make Wednesday afternoon your chance to get outside in all weathers and explore the world around us. You'll be building dens, creating woodland art and observing the changing seasons and landscapes as we explore the great outdoors on our doorstop. If you are a keen eco-activist wanting to make an environmental difference, or you just prefer to be out of the classroom away from walls and ceilings, you are all very much welcome to join us as we explore the Great Outdoors! 

November 2025

Our Great Outdoor Explorers Group are representing Newlands School wonderfully out in the woods for our Enrichment sessions. We have been learning to follow different instructions linked to keeping ourselves safe – particularly when crossing the road. We have been using all of our senses to investigate the environment – we really enjoy feeling different types of moss and throwing the Autumn leaves up into the air! We have been walking further each week and we’re excited to explore more of the woodland over the coming weeks. Very proud of you all, Great Outdoor Explorers!
