Outdoor Senses Adventure: An EYFS & KS1 Learning Resource

Embark on a captivating Outdoor Senses Adventure designed to bring the curriculum to life for EYFS and KS1 primary school education students. This engaging activity encourages children to step outside and actively connect with their environment through touch, feel and hear , promoting a deep nature connection and fostering crucial observational skills.

What is the Resource?

This resource centers around a structured Senses Walk or exploration of a designated outdoor area. Equipped with their clipboard, pencils, and the provided activity sheets, children become nature detectives.

See: Students will search for, identify, and draw examples of things they can see around them—from the tiny patterns on a leaf to the distant shape of a cloud.

Hear: They will stop, listen carefully, and illustrate or write down the things they can hear, such as birds singing, rustling leaves, or the sound of traffic.

Touch: Using safe exploration methods, they will describe or draw the textures of objects they can touch, like the rough bark of a tree, smooth stones, or soft moss.
