Now the weather has got warmer we are all turning our attention to the great outdoors. Even though the winter weather with its winds, occasional sleet showers and inevitable rain can be fun and exhilarating, Spring is when spirits are lifted and going outdoors suddenly seems so much more appealing.
With blue skies and the buzz of bees and insects in the air it is time to allow the children to run free from the confines of the classroom. However, just because the children are outside it doesn’t mean that their learning must halt. We have a range of outdoor school furniture which is perfect for primary schools and nurseries encouraging outdoor learning and stimulation.
There is now a range of outdoor school furniture which is designed to be left outdoors. Manufactured from a special new material called Medite Tricoya, the units are all 100% weather proof and fungal resistant yet are still highly durable and robust. Finished with stainless steel fixings and castors which are corrosion resistant the units are all virtually maintenance free, meaning they never need to be treated with creosote, wood stain or varnish. The material is sustainably sourced and with its natural finish compliments any garden and playground exterior setting.
Known as the ‘Leave Me Outdoors’ range, this range of outdoor school furniture includes seating, tables, role-play products and storage.
Included within the range is an Outdoor Shelf Unit which provides ideal outdoor storage and easy access for small pieces of outdoor equipment and toys. The Small Outdoor Cart has shelves and cubby holes for versatile storage and even has pockets on the top so children can explore and examine all manner of objects. The Outdoor Discovery Station makes a perfect gardening zone. The shelves can be used to house trowels and bulbs or even small bags of peat and compost. The top sections can be used to plant small flowers and herbs. This unit allows children to hone their gardening skills whilst creating a splash of colour and greenery to the playground.
The Outdoor Tables mean that resources and toys can immediately be taken outside and played with rather than having to wait whilst big heavy tables are carried outside from the classroom. There is nothing better than being able to paint outside as the great outdoors helps expression and free thought. Easels in the Leave Me Outdoors range can be kept outside all year round so they are ready and waiting for when the children decide they want to paint. Transferring equipment from inside to out can be arduous and takes up precious lesson time, but these tables and easels, including the Outdoor Painting Window and the Outdoor Easel can be left outside and simply moved to their chosen location for the activity.
The range also features Outdoor Activity Panels which feature cut out shapes and also a whiteboards and a blackboard for mark making. Whatever product or choice of products you decide to invest in, you will be thrilled with the added dimension this range of outdoor school furniture makes to your outdoor classroom and learning environment.
