The Importance of Outdoor Education

The ability to enjoy nature and to seek enjoyment from being outdoors are qualities which we promote at Stella Maris School.  Each week our children take part in various activities related to promoting the love of nature. They enjoy being outdoors and they develop a strong awareness of the changing seasons.  This helps our children to  celebrate the beauty of nature. Reflectiveness and love of nature are important skills for their future years.  There are lots of opportunities during the school week for the children to enjoy being outside and they regularly have fun pottering in the school garden, as well as participating in Forest School sessions at the nearby venue which the school uses.
