On the day, thousands of schools around the world take lessons outdoors and prioritize playtime and learning through experience.  In 2019, over 3.5 million children worldwide took part in this massive organization. As a part of a prestigious school with the aim of improving the quality of education we carried out some outdoor activities so as to encourage and boost a better use of existing resources for learning, and to enhance the environment within which learning takes place. We helped students to connect with nature, become more active, learn outdoors and have fun. Our team has worked tirelessly across the school to bring outdoor learning to as many students as possible.

Kadın kendinden olmayanı anlamaz algısı nedeniyle de kadına...

In today’s world of instant technology, the idea of taking your students on a museum trip may be challenging. Learners from this generation have shockingly short attention spans and, they are likely to lack prior knowledge related to the exhibits, as teachers we may be worried that they will quickly get bored and lose their attention. However, the reluctance of many parents and educators to take students to museums may be largely unwarranted. Indeed, many students enjoy a day away from the school, and the educational benefits of museum-going are unarguable. Museums encourage students to gain and practice their critical thinking skills .

Museums spark curiosity and visiting a museum represents the perfect opportunity for students to ask questions about new subjects that they are curious about and to satisfy their innately curious minds.
