Developing young children’s engagement and learning through Beach School
Many practitioners are developing their Forest School approach but now there is an
alternative which utilises or local beaches to provide children with experiences that
encourage an appreciation, awareness and knowledge of the natural environment. It gives
children the opportunity to understand how to self-assess risks and keep themselves and
others safe, explore, experiment and investigate all areas of the curriculum and to
understand the importance of the beach environment and the need for conservation.
This session will be held on Ainsdale beach (Southport). We will discuss the principles of Beach
School and associated Health and Safety requirements as well as approaches to learning
and development across the areas of learning.

Phonics Outdoors
This session is designed to support practitioners/teachers with contextualising phonics
‘application’. This session offers opportunities to explore how to support children with their
‘phonics’ understanding in context outdoors, as an enhancement to the discrete teaching of
phonics.
Application, as in children’s understanding of reading and spelling is often best approached in
context and within meaningful activities. The outdoor environment offers many opportunities
for application and consolidation and to support children with reading.
