Play Area Shelter at Newlands Nursery Preston

They were really aiming to add a flash of colour to the area and chose a vibrant mix of steelwork in a powerful blue (RAL 5002), fabric sail in eye-popping cherry red and post pad in a bright, sunny yellow. It stands out and gives that delightful contrast that is so engaging.

What Are The Benefits Of Outdoor Learning and How Can Schools Achieve This

A contented teacher is a great teacher and one that is passionate about educating children. Introducing a canopy into a school gives both teachers and children a opportunity to explore this together and brings with it a positive sense of freedom. Improving engagement in school is something every teacher is looking to do and with an outdoor shelter from A&S Landscape, it’s made much easier. The more engaged students are with their learning, the more their skills develop and the more assured they become in their abilities.

Being outside instead of inside a building, or mundane classroom, all day creates a healthy relationship with nature and helps children to grow up with an thankfulness for living things. Schooling children about nature is not necessarily something that is included as part of a curriculum, but it is part of life and an important part of their development as a human being.
