We will also provide you with 20% off all resources on orders over £50 on our website with the discount code EMPTYCLASSROOM2016.
Outdoor Explorer sheets – Head off on a minibeast hunt using our Outdoor Explorers’ Clipboard Sheets which can be used to encourage purposeful play when children are making use of the outside space in your setting. The laminated sheets feature images of minibeasts, plants, trees, leaves, shapes, letters and numbers, which can all be found somewhere outside. Teachers notes provided.
Local Area Explorers Kit – Everything you need to conduct a study of your local area. This kit provides 10 A4 aerial photographs and an A4 map, all centred on your school, along with worksheets and suggestions for using the maps and aerial photographs.
Ahoy me hearties! Topic Pack – A KS1 cross-curricular Pirates topic pack designed to appeal to children’s natural interests and provide opportunities for creative teaching and learning. The emphasis is on exciting practical work across all areas of the curriculum. Worksheets, display materials and curriculum links included and then finish your learning off with an outdoor adventure treasure hunting!
Scene Setting Backdrops – Transport your class to another country using our weatherproof backdrops as a starting point to set the scene in your outside classroom!
Get Clever with a Compass – Pupils will learn the eight points of a compass and combine games with map work and hands-on tasks to learn the confident use of a compass to find directions.
Whatever your plans, we hope you have a great day!
