PUPILS and staff ditched the classroom for a day and went outdoors at Trull Primary School last Thursday.
It was all part of Outdoor Classroom Day, which celebrates and inspires outdoor learning and play.
A school spokesman said: "Why? Outdoor learning improves children’s health, engages them with learning and leads to a greater connection with nature.
"Play not only teaches critical life skills such as resilience, teamwork and creativity, but is central to children’s enjoyment of childhood.
"This national day proved a wonderful opportunity to introduce our new outdoor education area to the children.
"The children took part in a number of activities which had cross-curricular links.
"The area, which previously formed part of the village playing field has been transformed thanks to the work of the Trull School Fundraisers."
