Step outside and discover the endless learning opportunities waiting just beyond your door with The Great Outdoors June Curriculum Box – Digital Download Edition. June is a wonderful time to slow down and notice the world around us. Birds singing in the trees. Clouds drifting overhead. Mini beasts hiding under logs. Leaves rustling in the breeze. Shadows dancing across the ground. Flowers blooming in every colour imaginable. Young children are natural explorers. They notice the tiny details adults often miss. They collect treasures. Ask questions. Mix, dig, build and investigate. They are curious about everything. This curriculum box captures that natural sense of wonder and transforms it into rich, purposeful learning experiences across all seven areas of the EYFS. Through investigation, storytelling, movement, music, art and hands-on exploration, children develop their confidence, language, creativity and understanding of the world around them.
