IntroductionThis scheme <strong>of</strong> <strong>work</strong> has been devised to help teachers deliver the adventurous activities element <strong>of</strong> the 2008 PEcurriculum. It consists <strong>of</strong> four units <strong>of</strong> <strong>work</strong> with twelve lessons in each unit, aimed at years 3 to year 6.The scheme <strong>of</strong> <strong>work</strong> is designed to be delivered in conjunction with the OEAP Outdoor learning card resource pack. Itcovers four areas <strong>of</strong> physical activity, journeying, teambuilding, bouldering and orienteering.The Outdoor Learning Cards and associated resources have been developed by the Outdoor Education Advisers panel toenable non specialist teachers to deliver high quality outdoor learning experiences in and around the school grounds.The scheme <strong>of</strong> <strong>work</strong> is not prescriptive and can be used in part or in its entirety, depending on available resources. Itcontributes directly towards meeting the Adventure <strong>Activities</strong> area <strong>of</strong> experience in the 2008 PE curriculum and can alsobe used to promote the wider curriculum.The activities within the Outdoor Learning Cards are an ideal medium to develop:• Learning across the curriculum ­ PSE, citizenship, Cwricwlwm Cymreig.• Skills across the curriculum ­ thinking, communication, ICT and number.• Cross­curricular themes – e.g. geography, science, languages etc.Although primarily designed to be used at KS2, learners at Key Stage 3 can build on previously acquired skills, knowledgeand understanding by applying their skills to new, more challenging environmentIn the past adventurous activities have <strong>of</strong>ten been delivered by specialist staff in remote locations, and has <strong>of</strong>ten onlybeen available to a limited number <strong>of</strong> children. This exciting new scheme <strong>of</strong> <strong>work</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers an opportunity for all children toexperience a range <strong>of</strong> exciting outdoor learning experiences and children can be exposed to carefully managed riskwithout exposing them to significant dangers.AuthorsDavid Evans Associate Adviser for Outdoor EducationBeverley Symonds Physical Education and School Sport Coordinator- 1 ­
