“Our playgroup has 55 children aged 2-3 years old and they love the umbrella. We have water play underneath it and we also use it for our Little Tykes Castle play. The children love to duck under it when it starts to rain and they find it a lot cooler when the sun is out. All in all, we love it and have had very positive comments from parents and staff members.”

The many benefits of outdoor learning on children and how canopies and help to create outdoor classrooms

Classrooms have long been the location of choice for a huge amount of schools, but the value of outdoor learning are quickly being realised. You may actually think that it’s not accomplishable, especially with the temperamental British weather, but with a shelter, teaching outside can become a reality. With various dimensions available for numerous purposes, any school can install a canopy to develop any outdoor space into a new sort of classroom.

For children, different environments can motivate and excite, contributing to an increased capacity to absorb new information. At a young age, regular classrooms can provide minimal stimulation for pupils and educational growth can become limited. By exploring the use of outdoor teaching, children can find novel and refreshing ways of learning. Fresh air, and the facility to teach in a considerably larger space, can open up new doors to the way that lessons are taught and the activities which can be carried out.
