How to Create a Practical Outdoor Space for Kids to Flourish at School


Kids being kids, they would rather not spend their time inside but would love to be outdoors as much as possible. If you're in charge of their school, then you will undoubtedly know this and should take advantage of any outdoor space that you have wherever possible. Why is this so advantageous, and how can you achieve your goal, given the harsh Australian climate?

Sensory Perception

When people are outside, they're able to use a range of senses. For example, there are so many sounds nearby, and whether they come from passing traffic, construction, animals, birds or other people, they all have a story to tell. Each story can represent an interesting learning point in its own respect. When you take your children outside for one of their learning periods, talk with them about the different sounds and how each one is made.

See and Learn

There's also more to see outside and more sensations to be experienced. You may take some of this for granted as an adult, but your kids may nevertheless be inspired when they see how dust can be created, just by adding water. Teach them how this happens and see them light up.

Back to Nature

Of course, an outside environment is a perfect place to embrace mother nature. It'll be an opportunity for them to learn how plants grow and how they rely on sunlight and water in equal measure. Cultivate a flower bed and plant a variety of different things so that your kids can watch them bloom or change with the seasons.

Weather Issues

Still, you will have to deal with the Australian climate, especially as your outdoor time may coincide with the middle of the day. To fully embrace the exterior, therefore, you will need to erect some shade sails.

Shade Sail Installation

These come in a variety of different configurations. For example, you can attach them to an existing fascia so that they extend the edge of a building or overhang a rafter. You may be able to attach one to a tree in some cases, or you can always introduce additional supports made from timber or steel. These could be cut to length, depending on your exact requirement.

If the weather has been holding you back from taking your children outdoors during the school term, think about installing some shade sails as soon as possible. You will be able to add another element to their learning environment and help them to achieve a more well-rounded education.

Renovating Your Kitchen On A Budget

Renovating a house is such a fun experience, especially when you take a very outdated room and modernise it. When I bought my first house, the kitchen was so retro '70s that I got a headache every time I walked in. Because it was my first home, I had to renovate on a budget, and now that the task is complete, I've started this blog to share my experience. My blog posts cover everything from buying kitchen hardware at sale prices to ways you can update the look without spending a fortune. I hope that my blog posts will enable you to make the renovations you need without spending a fortune.
