In this section of our website, you will get an overview of how Millbrook Primary School children learn through the amazing experiential activities the class teachers plan. 

What is Experiential Learning?

Experiential learning helps connect lessons taught at school to real life experiences — and it is one of the most important things a great classroom teacher does.

This can include field trips and science experiments to bring learning to life and demonstrates how for example scientists work, being responsible for, and caring for the class hamster, undertaking an art, music or drama performance or planting a garden.

The great news is that we can replicate these experiential learning experiences at home, without turning ourselves into full time teachers or having the pressure to create more school activities to keep our children busy.

The other advantage is that all of these experiences can be undertaken without the need for a screen.
