A-Z of Learning Outside the Classroom

by Russell Grigg and Helen Lewis (Bloomsbury, £17.99)

If you ever get stuck for an idea for outdoor practice, this book has plenty; what’s more, it serves as a promotion of regular outdoor learning. It draws on relevant research to reinforce that working in ‘real’ environments benefits children’s all-round development. It has more than 1,000 suggestions for activities – from how to hold a bug ball, or make a scarecrow, to interpreting a painting in a gallery. It is not early years specific, but it does have links to areas covered in the EYFS.
