Rethinking the Spaces Where Children Learn.

Outdoor learning is often associated with forests, beaches, and wide natural landscapes.

But what if the most powerful outdoor learning spaces are much closer than we think?

In The Where of Outdoor Learning, Carol Murdoch challenges the idea that outdoor learning depends on finding the perfect environment. Drawing on years of work with schools across the UK, she explores how everyday places can become rich learning environments for children.

From playgrounds and hard surfaces to streets, parks, churchyards and small pockets of nature, this book helps teachers see familiar spaces with fresh eyes.

Written with warmth, humour, and a deep understanding of school life, this practical guide shows that outdoor learning does not begin when you reach the forest.

It begins when someone opens the classroom door.

Perfect for:

• primary school teachers
• early years practitioners
• outdoor learning coordinators
• school leaders developing outdoor learning approaches

Description

“I recently read ‘The Where of Outdoor Learning’ by Carol Murdoch, and it completely reframed how I view our school’s outdoor spaces. As educators, it is easy to feel limited by our environment, but this book reminds us that the learning happens through thoughtful teaching, not the perfection of the landscape. From the cracks in the pavement to the edge of the playground, Carol shows how every school can make outdoor learning a daily reality. I highly recommend it to any fellow head teachers and practitioners looking to bring learning to life in accessible, manageable ways.”

“The where of outdoor learning” is an AMAZING read for both parents and teachers. It is engaging, funny and a must read for primary teachers everywhere who are beginning their outdoor learning journey or are well on their way to embedding outdoor learning in the curriculum. It made me think of the ordinary, outdoor spaces we have around our school and most importantly it gave me the confidence to see the learning potential just outside the classroom door, with no special arrangements just the positivity to inspire and encourage curiosity, improve self-esteem and a love of learning.”

“The Where of Outdoor Learning is a deeply personal and inspiring read. Carol’s wealth of experience and professional insight shines through on every page, making the book both informative and meaningful.

The Pause and Reflect sections at the end of each chapter are extremely valuable, encouraging readers to thoughtfully connect the ideas to their own practice.

A powerful and motivating resource for anyone interested in outdoor education.”
