Discover the Benefits of Outdoor Learning with a Tipi

Watchlytes Primary School

If you have been curious why learning is important outside the classroom, it can work as a unique way to introduce new learning methods to your children’s education and is beneficial to children’s development. As learning at school is typically associated with (and more often than not confined to) taking place within a classroom, providing children with a new environment will not only be stimulating but can help children with their cognition and physical health too. Therefore, allowing children to have a hands-on approach to their learning can be just as important as teaching children concepts and theoretical learning within a classroom.

There are several scientifically-backed studies that prove and attest to the various different benefits of outdoor learning and how it is substantially beneficial to a child’s development. These spaces can have a profound effect on their earlier developmental years and their health too. The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom has a wealth of resources where you can find out more about these proven benefits of learning outside the classroom, what difference it makes to a child’s learning and all the various ways you can integrate outside learning into your teaching.

So, how do tipis feature?

By using one of our tipis, you can create a safe and comfortable zone that gives children the environment they need to take their learning outdoors. Our tipis are ideal as a classroom tent to provide you with the space you need to see your classroom’s progress develop. These can be for children of all ages and can be just as much fun as they are educational. Having a tipi within a playground can provide a comfortable environment for children to engage in a variety of activities, such as reading, and act as a space to relax in.
