How can we support you?
Immersion Days
The new curriculum is here in Wales and the Four Purposes are driving this curriculum. In creating ambitious capable learners, supporting healthy confident individuals, developing enterprising creative contributors and in developing ethical informed citizens.
Is your vision for your setting to get the children learning outside as much as they are inside?
Our Traed Bach Mwdlyd Outreach Programme is up and running!
As a Qualified Primary Teacher with 12 Years experience in teaching in a school for children with significant Additional Educational Needs Ellie is able to adapt any theme or topic for the outdoors and a bespoke session can be arranged for your setting.
For DIP days, immersion days or weeks, for a termly topic launch we can support you to get the learning outside and inspire the children! Most of our sessions can take place within the school grounds, so no additional travel is necessary!

We can also offer support and training for staff development, risk assessment and site development and planning.
