Outdoor Play and Learning Projects

I’ve just finished two projects for Black Country Creative Partnerships, developing creative outdoor approaches within KS1 with children, training and mentoring staff.

I’ve been cloaked in my alter ego, a reflective detective, who loves nothing better than a messy mystery and some assistant detectives to help investigate.

You can listen to the story trails from one project.
