The Woodland Project
At Devonshire, we have created our very own Woodland area, tucked away in the tree lined edge of the school field. All children have the opportunity to take their learning outside of the classroom and into the Woodland area. Mrs Page, our woodland teacher, plans activities and challenges linked to the learning that the children are doing in class and for at least half a term of the school year, they have a weekly lesson in the Woodland area.
OPAL
OPAL (Outdoor Play And Learning) is a programme to improve opportunities for physical activity, socialisation, co-operation, coordination, resilience, creativity, imagination and enjoyment through improved play. We have embedded the OPAL approach throughout our play spaces at playtimes and lunchtimes.
