Primary Focus Day

The Moorland Classroom

Exmoor National Park

Friday 23rd November 2012

The Moorland Classroom is a project to provide unforgettable learning experiences both in the classroom and on Exmoor National Park. The day will enable primary colleagues to:

Get the best out of this new, innovative online resource

Participate in lively and engaging workshops on how to deliver the new Moorland Classroom activities to pupils

Access free 2013 professional development opportunities linked to the project

Receive information on how to access travel funding for school visits

Discover how to access our Prehistory loan box scheme

Meet an Exmoor Pony and learn from an expert about this very special animal

Enjoy a lovely Exmoor lunch and refreshments (all in the price!)

We have created a new suite of online teaching materials - specifically designed for educators to support both classroom and outdoor learning at locations across Exmoor National Park. These resources use cross-curricular, question-led enquiries that are accessible to the full age range of pupils in primary schools. Each examines key themes, such as the moorland heritage, landscapes, and wildlife and why Exmoor National Park is such a special place.

The new resources will fit the new National Curriculum as it emerges. Activities will also ensure appropriate progression and challenge for pupils at different ages and stages, and provide meaningful opportunities to apply ICT and thinking skills.

Contributors include:

David Gurnett, Education Manager, Exmoor National Park Authority

David Rolls, Moorland Education and Outreach Officer

Faye Balmond, Moorland Heritage Officer

David Weatherly, Curriculum Advisor
