Curious Creatures

Curious Creatures Providing exciting, imaginative, outdoor learning experiences for extremely curious children in natu What’s it all about?

My name is Clare Holland and I qualified as a primary school teacher in 2002. Outdoor learning has always been a passion of mine and I have continuously been seeking new ways to utilise the wonders of the outdoor learning environment to motivate pupils and enhance learning opportunities. Having my own two boys the outdoors has become even more exciting, particularly since observing how it can be so easily transformed by the power of the imagination in the head of a 3 year old! Sadly, all too frequently, our children are unable to enjoy the same freedom to roam in the outdoors that we and our parents may have done. However, there is a strong link between time spent outdoors and children’s happiness and exploring the outdoors also brings huge physical, cognitive and social benefits. Curious Creatures brings stories and rhymes to the outdoors, providing fun, stimulating activities which promote curiosity, imagination and interaction whatever the weather!

Love this!

Hello. Sorry this page has been quiet for a while, I just wanted to give people an update. Curious Creatures began its big adventure 5 years ago. It's been an amazing 5 years which has allowed me to create many magical, memorable outdoor experiences with both my own and others little ones and I have learnt so much along the way. I have still been teaching in schools during this time and in September I started a new, exciting position as Outdoor Learning teacher in a local infant school. In January I will be taking on a new teaching post alongside this so I will be very busy for a while. I am not saying goodbye to Curious Creatures forever but just taking up other lovely opportunities at the moment. Thanks for all the support in the last 5 years, it really has been amazing and I will miss seeing you all.
So I guess there's only one thing left to say:

Trekkers after school club read Rainbow Bear by Michael Morpurgo today. We went on a huge colour hunt and discovered our September meadow has every colour of the rainbow in it. Some of us even experimented with rubbing leaves and berries to create rainbow colours.
