Learning Outdoors with the Meek Family

Education doesn't always need to take place behind the desk or in a classroom. Family time is just as important, and these 52 'Ed-ventures' provide parents with a fantastic resource of ideas to support and enhance their children's formal schooling. Each exciting adventure can easily be fitted into a weekend.

Chapters include Buildings to See, Places to Go, Travel, Transport, By the Water, Country Life and Culture; Entertainment, with each activity graded according to which particular aspect of learning it promotes such as literacy, numeracy, science or personal development. Within each activity there is plenty of scope to help your children develop enquiring minds, including ideas on what to do before you get there, while you're there and when you get back, plus tips, suggestions and ways of encouraging different ways to learn via reading, listening, visual, sensory and physical means.
