What a beautiful day to be outdoors! ☀️🌱
🌈 Year 1/2 explored colours in nature, carefully matching them to their colour cards.
🥔 Year 3/5/6 got stuck into gardening—digging trenches to plant potatoes, topping up our flower troughs with bulbs and soil, independently moving soil, harvesting and selling leeks, and replenishing our flower barrow.
A fantastic day of hands-on learning in our gorgeous garden! 🌿💚
This week, despite stormy weather, our pupils made the most of their outdoor learning adventures:
Year 1/2
Year 3
Year 5/6
Rain or shine, Llangan’s outdoor learning keeps growing strong! 🌦️
**Outdoor Learning at Llangan: Tidying, Planting, and Prepping for Spring!**
At Llangan Primary School, our outdoor learning adventures have been in full swing this week, with every year group getting their hands dirty and working together to improve our wonderful outdoor spaces.
Our enthusiastic Year 1 and Year 2 pupils took on the task of tidying up the arboretum, ensuring it’s ready for more outdoor learning activities. They also began preparing our planting beds for this year’s crops and made creative vegetable seed signs to mark out where their hard work will flourish in the coming months.
Meanwhile, our industrious Years 3, 5, and 6 focused on winter garden maintenance, tidying and rejuvenating areas for the season ahead. They also got to work on an exciting new project, installing posts to develop an area that will soon become a vibrant addition to our outdoor learning environment. We captured some fantastic before-and-after shots to highlight their progress!
These activities are a perfect example of how outdoor learning connects us with nature, teaches essential life skills, and fosters teamwork. A big thank you to all the pupils (and staff!) for their hard work in maintaining and enhancing our outdoor spaces.
Stay tuned for updates as our outdoor areas continue to grow and thrive!

Today’s Outdoor Learning session was a great success, even though the chilly weather made it a bit of a challenge! Year 1 to 4 spent time in the arboretum, where they dove into a variety of activities. They explored camouflage, built mini dens for woodland creatures, went on a scavenger hunt to collect natural materials, played games, and worked together to dismantle a massive den. It was a day full of teamwork, discovery, and sharp observation skills, with not a single complaint despite the cold! Everyone loved being outside, embracing the fresh air and nature’s wonders.
Meanwhile, Year 5 and 6 were busy crafting. Some students put finishing touches on their wellbeing pebbles, while others created beautiful willow dreamcatchers, wind socks, and fabric wreaths. The creativity on display was absolutely amazing!
A fantastic day of outdoor learning and hands-on fun, demonstrating the resilience and creativity of our pupils. Big thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm, despite the cold! 🌿❄️🎨
Tuesday’s outdoor learning was a wet one, but the children embraced it with enthusiasm! They created some fantastic, magical woodland creatures from clay. 🌧️🦊🍂
Year 3 had a wonderful day in #LlanganOutdoorLearning! They created autumn wreaths after collecting natural materials, enjoyed a mindfulness session in our beautiful woods with some mindful art, planted bulbs for spring, and even collected apples. 🍂🌱🍎#llanganoutdoorlearning
In outdoor learning, Y2/3 explored our allotment, cutting open and examining seeds inside veggies and seed pods. We drew, labelled, made seed packets, and collected dried seeds. Plus, we picked beans, beetroot, and cucumbers—and even tasted the cucumbers!
