Alongside the development of Mike’s Meadow, our outdoor learning environment at Batheaston Church School, has established a natural haven for our children to engage with nature and wildlife indigenous to our local setting. All classes from Reception to Year 6 have open access to Mike’s Meadow, with allotted time, for each class in their timetable, for planned experiences within the Meadow. Environmental studies, mindful activities and scientific investigations form the basis for exciting outdoor learning. Alongside this the children access the beauty and charm of Mike’s Meadow to further enhance academic subjects such as maths, literacy, art, design and technology, geography and even history where the odd Roman encampment has been built. The very young in our school love nothing more that going on bear hunts, building dens and watching the birds and insects flourish.
Mike’s Meadow is a wonderful outdoor resource providing a rich environment for play and learning. For information on hiring Mike’s Meadow, please contact the school for details on: 01225 858555 or by email: office@batheaston.bwmat.org
