G.R.O.W Classroom
At Ford Primary School we currently have this outdoor 'grey' courtyard... we have a vision of creating a green G.R.O.W space!
We want to turn this space into an outdoor classroom for our pupils to develop and thrive. Allowing children to interact with nature develops the sensory processing skills essential for cognitive growth. In addition, the sensory aspect of the garden supports children's emotional wellbeing.
The GROW space...
G - Get ready to learn
R - Review what you know
O - Open your mind
W - Wonder and ask
Below are some current pictures of the courtyard...
We have created a survey for the parents and the local community for some input into our garden! Please follow the link to complete:
Here are some of our pupils ideas:
Next Steps:
1. Survey pupils and parents to capture the values of the local community, and design ideas for the courtyard.
