Think back to your school days, what are your favourite memories..? We bet they’re not of writing in a book at a tidy desk. In fact, for many, the memories of school days that we hold dearest are of things that we did outside the classroom, whether in the playground or on a residential school trip.
At Sacrewell, we welcome over 3000 school children a year to make memories and spend time outside their classroom, but on May 17th we were extra pleased to welcome the pupils from Meadowgate Academy who had won our Outdoor Classroom Day Competition. Outdoor Classroom Day is a global campaign to inspire and celebrate outdoor learning and play, and the pupils from Meadowgate certainly did plenty of both on their free visit to the farm.
We’d like to thank the children and their incredible staff for coming along to celebrate with us and for allowing us to share these photos with you.
We hope they inspire you to try outdoor learning and play of your own.
