LEARNING THROUGH LANDSCAPES SCOTLAND
LtL are doing what they do best: assisting in the education of children and encouraging connection with nature, physical exercise, learning and play through the great outdoors. With schools and nurseries closed, this support is more crucial than ever. LtL have a group on Facebook specifically for educators and teachers – to deliver FREE weekly outdoor learning and play activities and training guides. This will be reinforced by weekly newsletters to help with setting work remotely. LtL will also be releasing a series of webinars and online training sessions for early years educators and trainers; sign up to the LtL newsletter to ensure you receive details of these.

LOtC have compiled a wealth of exciting learning resources from their Quality Badge holders that you can access free of charge. They can be used to help keep children learning (and make it fun) whilst schools are closed.
Organisations holding the LOtC Quality Badge have been assessed and recognised for the quality of their education provision.
If you are venturing outside the home or school, please adhere to government advice on social distancing and self-isolation.
