By using the environment as the stimulus, we can put literacy and numeracy work into a fresh and exciting context, bringing it to life. First hand, multi-sensory experiences in the environment can significantly enhance pupils' performance through increased motivation and understanding.

The entire focus of the field-work activities can be on literacy and / or numeracy or they can link in with the Science, Geography, History, P.E. or Drama curricula as well for a rich and holistic experience that helps teachers a great deal by covering a lot of ground.

Phone the Cockington Ranger for a list of example activities.
