Here are some muddy top tips to make a start in each key stage.

• Outdoor Learning KS2 – Try taking 10 minute slots or brain breaks in between sessions. Do the Muddy Walk and Talk and just use it for gerberal discussion or chat.
• Outdoor Learning KS1 – Try taking phonics games outside. Choose a sound and use leaves
• Outdoor Learning EYFS – If you can make sure there is an outside space that is accessible and start to reduce the plastic and have more natural objects. Such as leaves they can write on, stones to do art with. Strip back the made plastic objects and keep natural for optimum imagnation and creative skills to be used.
