Primary Focus DayThe Moorland Classroom – in the field
Exmoor National Park, Friday 19 April 2013.
The Moorland Classroom is a project to provide unforgettable learning experiences both in the classroom and on Exmoor National Park. The day will enable primary colleagues to:
Get the best from being outdoors and our new bespoke online resources; Go with experts to visit a selection of Exmoor’s brilliant fieldwork locations -
Simonsbath, the River Barle Valley and Pinkery; Participate in lively and engaging workshops that help to broaden your skills in
delivering education outside the classroom; Be fully briefed in the preparation you need to confidently take children to these
Moorland Classroom sites for an unforgettable visit; Access free professional development opportunities linked to this project, including

We have created a new suite of online teaching materials - specifically designed for educators to support both classroom and outdoor learning at locations across Exmoor National Park. These resources use cross-curricular, question-led enquiries that are accessible to the full age range of pupils in primary schools. Each examines key themes, such as the moorland heritage, landscapes, and wildlife and why Exmoor National Park is such a special place.
The new resources will fit the new National Curriculum as it emerges. Activities will also ensure appropriate progression and challenge for pupils at different ages and stages, and provide meaningful opportunities to apply ICT and thinking skills.
