Key to keeping young minds engaged is being able to offer them new and different environments in which to learn. How nice then, that when Ludlow Junior School and A&S Landscape worked together to add a new Umbrella shade to the playground area, that it provided yet another option for learning.

As educators know, learning outside the classroom is key and something that Ofsted are looking at in their evaluations. Now Ludlow Junior School has added shelter to a fenced seating area outside which can be used for learning as well as dining and socialising. Fantastic!

At Ludlow Junior School they installed Maxima Umbrella at 5000mm x 5000mm, with Marine Blue RAL 5002 steelwork and Night Blue fabric. It adds a sense of completeness to the area which is now enjoyed by even more children than before.

How playing outside regularly can impact upon children’s social and emotional development

A common but under-researched realm of social and emotional development in children is understanding the importance of spending time outdoors and how considerable the effects are. For such a critical part of childhood, the gaps in research here are somewhat surprising. Not least because, the research that currently exists demonstrates that there is conclusive evidence that outdoor time, like outdoor play, or outdoor classrooms, has a considerable positive impact on a child’s social and emotional development. These emerging studies come from numerous disciplines using a wide range of methods that all lead to the same idea.

Specifically, papers centring on; risk-taking, sensory skills, confidence, and anxiety bring to light how outdoor play positively influences children’s social and emotional development.
