Areas discussed:

• How have new Covid-19 safety measures impact break and lunch times?
• How frequently are children learning outdoors?
• What resources would be useful when learning outdoors?

Actions and Impacts:

• A new order of outdoor learning resources will be placed, inspired by the children's ideas.
• Children are enjoying the amount of outdoor learning they are doing.
