Maths in Motion: Outdoor Playful Learning for Reception Children – Study Day at Charborough Road School
Stronger Practice Hub Event
Charborough Road Primary School, situated in the heart of Filton, provides an inspiring mixed pre-school and Reception outdoor unit where curiosity takes the lead. In this session, we shine a spotlight on how mathematical concepts naturally emerge from children’s play.
Through puddle-stomping, stick-stacking, and leaf-counting adventures, we’ll explore how outdoor environments provide rich invitations for children to experiment with number, shape, space, and measure. Rather than seeing maths as formal instruction, we’ll uncover how it’s deeply embedded in children’s daily play—where thinking, estimating, and problem-solving flourish organically.
This hands-on morning will guide you through outdoor setups that provoke mathematical conversations and playful exploration, giving you practical tools to recognise, support, and extend maths moments in the moment.
