Combining the National Curriculum with nature

Our lesson plans are created by qualified primary teachers and cover a range of National Curriculum subjects.

These lessons are designed to be delivered as a part of your everyday teaching, rather than in addition to, enabling teachers to take core and foundation subjects outdoors. By bringing nature and the curriculum together in one, your children continue to further their academic progress whilst experiencing all of the benefits of outdoor learning!

Love the Year 3 multiplication maths games.
They really engaged my class at all abilities.

I absolutely love the phonics activities. I take my group out all the time and we love the variety of learning activities!

We are starting the rocks topic in January and the plans and ideas are brilliant! So hands on and investigative, with lots of speaking and listening opportunities.

My favourite part is the great ideas linked with the National Curriculum. It saves so much planning time.

KS1 subscriber

I had always planned in subscribing for a few months to get some ideas and then cancel my subscription. But I've been so impressed with the quality of the lessons and how frequently you add new content. The new content is what keeps me staying!

Not sure whether our lesson plans are right for you?

A subscription is the most cost-effective way to access our lesson plans.

We understand some schools will want to view full units of planning before subscribing, so we have made a selection of them available over on our TES store.
