Weaving local heritage into our outdoor activities
How can we increasingly weave local heritage into our outdoor learning activities? It could be learning about the “Lady Ebrington,” an emigrant ship that took hopeful Victorians to Australia in the mid 1800s for the Gold Rush; a strip of hedgerow in the school grounds that hints at earlier, pastoral uses for the land; a small piece of pottery dug up whilst gardening at the school; storytelling that captivates young children and passes on cultural values or learning about how the Northam Burrows played a role in wartime.
