Give outdoors space the artistic touch

Pre-school children will have the chance to create their own art projects to transform their setting's outdoor area into a public exhibition space, during this year's National School Grounds Week (7-11 June.)

The organiser, Learning Through Landscapes, has come up with a range of practical ideas and activities to inspire early years settings to join in its 'Exhibition Mission'.

The national school grounds charity wants as many nurseries and schools as possible to take part and turn their outdoor areas into a temporary art gallery for parents and the wider local community to enjoy.

Catherine Andrews, chief executive of LTL, said, 'Nursery and school grounds provide a space that enables children to express themselves imaginatively and in ways that aren't possible inside. From messy art to large-scale sculptures, the possibilities are inspiring. We are really looking forward to seeing settings and schools participate in National School Grounds Week, by exhibiting their works and providing local communities with a display that brightens their street and outdoor environment.'
