Summers on its way and the weather is already picking up. With this year set to be one of the best summers for years, it makes sense to see how you can involve summer activities in to your learning plan.To make summer learning an enjoyable experience for your pupils, we have suggested a few activities below that you may like to try.

Outdoor exploration – Design a lesson where the children can explore the wildlife and natural surroundings.  If you have a pond nearby, take a net to the pound and pour out the contents in to a tray of water. Have some worksheets handy for the children to record what they have found.

Arts and Crafts – Simply collecting up leaves and sticks etc and getting the pupils to make a collage using the materials they have found. You could also allow them to draw pictures using pavement chalks on the concrete play areas that simply wash away with the rain.
