Exciting News – Our New Outdoor Learning Area!
We are thrilled to share that our school has recently acquired a new piece of land, which we are transforming into a dedicated Outdoor Learning Area for our pupils!
At Armathwaite School, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom, and this wonderful new space will provide our children with opportunities to explore, discover, and engage with nature in a hands-on way. From outdoor science experiments and nature studies to storytelling in the fresh air and developing practical skills, this area will become an invaluable part of our curriculum.
Over the coming months, we will be working together as a school community to develop this space—creating habitats for wildlife, planting trees and flowers, and setting up areas for outdoor activities. We are excited to see how this project grows and how it will benefit our children’s learning and well-being.
We will keep you updated on our progress, and we look forward to sharing this fantastic new adventure with you!

Outdoor Learning Day – A Fantastic February Adventure!
In February, we embraced the great outdoors for a wonderful Outdoor Learning Day, making full use of our new learning space. Under our brand-new canopy, children gathered around an open fire to toast marshmallows, enjoying the warmth and the joy of outdoor cooking. We worked together with the living willow team to build a beautiful willow dome, planted trees to help our environment thrive, and crafted bug hotels to encourage local wildlife. The children also had great fun making seed bombs, learning about the importance of wildflowers and pollinators. Alongside these hands-on activities, we spent time planning what to add to our outdoor space, sharing ideas for new features that will make it an even more exciting place to learn and explore. To top it all off, we enjoyed a delicious lunch outside, making the most of the fresh air and natural surroundings. It was a fantastic day of creativity, teamwork, and appreciation for nature—one that we will all remember for a long time!
