These books are a timely and welcome addition to help primary
teachers grow their confidence and competence to undertake great
teaching - outdoors!

Enough to convince even the hardened ‘indoor’ teacher that the
outdoors has much to offer and these books give a step by step
introduction of how it can be incorporated into their scheme of
work along with their other planning. Overall I have been really
impressed with this series.

The National Curriculum Outdoors books are a fantastic resource for
primary schools. [...] The books enable teachers to use their whole
school sites and local areas as their learning spaces, and
encourage active, imaginative and engaging curriculum teaching and
learning.

I love these books so much [...] All the teachers in my school are
using them because the activities work with whole class groups.
*Primary school Headteacher*
Teachers felt inspired by the creative way in which they could
deliver these national curriculum outcomes and in particular, the
subject areas you wouldn’t necessarily think about teaching
outdoors such as music and RE.
