Project Erasmus+, KA2

„Outdoor learning and sport activities”

We are five European schools, three special schools from Romania, Poland and
Turkey, and two mainstream schools, from Portugal and Italy. Together we
discovered, after intern statistic made by each partner institution, that an average of
85% from activities are indoor. Making a detailed SWOT analysis, one of the reasons
for this issue is the structure and the high quantity of the national curricula that
constrain the teachers to organize indoor activities for an easier transmission of the
knowledge and an easier group management. On the other hand, the initial training
of most of the teachers was to conduct the activities in an indoor environment.
Another reason would be the significant number of students that prefer the
sedentary activities. The causes for this are the modern technologies that attract the
students and the teachers to make use of it in class or during school breaks. Most of
the children and students with disabilities are confronted with negative feelings like
lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem. Because of the fear of failure and to
avoid embarrassment they usually refuse to participate in different sport activities
organized by the school or by the community. By talking to the parents we found out
that they are also confronted with the same fears and they prefer to leave their
children “safe” in front of the TV or computer neglecting outdoor leisure activities.
Sometimes the lack of financial resources and of an adequate space to carry out
outdoor activities is also an important cause for a low number of outdoor activities in
the partner schools.

OLASA
The characteristics of the outdoor education:

 offers the possibility of direct contact with nature


 provides many learning experiences
 facilitates the learning process for the SEN students
 leads to personal development of the students
 leads to team spirit development
 offers physical, emotional and intellectual benefits that lead to social
wellness.

This guide is the result of the participation of teachers in the trainings that took
place in each country. It contains scenarios of lessons and extracurricular activities
developed by each partner. It is addressed to parents, teachers, and special
education teachers and the main aim is to facilitate understanding of outdoor
learning and to promote activities not only for students with special needs but also
for all the school community.

This Good Practice Guide is developed by:

 Centrul Școlar pentru Educație Incluzivă Cluj-Napoca, offers educational


services appropriate to primary and secondary school level for approximately
170 children with severe and moderate intellectual disability, learning
difficulties, movement problems and autism spectrum disorders. With our
team of 34 support teachers, we also reach the educational needs of
approximately 400 children with learning difficulties included in mainstream
schools, education at home for those children for whom presence in the
classroom is not possible and education for hospitalized children. Our complex
team of 108 specialists includes special education teachers, teachers and
instructors, psychologists, sport, music, art and religion teachers, speech
therapists, physiotherapists and support teachers. Sport teachers and
physiotherapists involve about 25% of students in sport activities and

9
OLASA
competitions with other students with disabilities from our city, activities
coordinated by the City School Inspectorate. To involve in sport activities
students with reduced motor skills we have a strong collaboration with
Romanian Special Olympic Federation and also strong partnerships with
mainstream schools from our city.

 OZDEBIR Ozel Egitim Uygulama Merkezi 1. Kademe, Kocaeli, Turkey


ÖZDEBİR Özel Eğitim Uygulama Merkezi (Turkey), established in 2008, is a
special school, for children aged 3-14 years. All the children have autistic
spectrum disorder (ASD) of varying degrees. All pupils on ÖZDEBİR Özel Eğitim
Uygulama Merkezi need highly qualified and competent personnel to help
them to develop their abilities and to fulfil their basic needs.
The core subjects we concentrate on and evaluate are: Social skills –
awareness of self and others, Behaviour, Attention / Memory, Conceptual
understanding, Thinking, Communication, Motor skills training, Musicality and
Creativity.
We have 36 students in 8 classes. We have 8 special needs teachers, 1
psychological counsellor, 1 physical education teacher, 2 art teachers, 1 music
teacher and 8 assistant teachers. Our students come from across our province.
Students’ transportation is provided by school bus and the fees are paid by the
state. We would like to share our experiences of how we plan and organise
our work and to learn from the experiences of others. Our ongoing main aim is
to develop our core curriculum so that we are able to meet the varied
individual, educational, social and communication needs of every student.
Therefore it is of great importance that we can meet others with special
knowledge to exchange experiences and to extend our knowledge.

OLASA
 Escola Básica e Secundária Dr. Ângelo Augusto da Silva is located in the
center of Funchal, Madeira. Escola da Levada, as it is also known, has about
1200 students, 200 teachers and 70 staff.
Nowadays, the school has a diverse educational offer, including the Regular
Education from 5th to 12th year, the Vocational Education and Courses of
Education and Training, in order to prepare young people in our society to the
work market and the future increasingly competitive, not neglecting the
appreciation and respect for diversity. The School offers a structured teaching
unit for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and includes students with
other special educational needs in their classes. Almost all of the students,
those who follow the regular curriculum, are full time with their classes. Those
who are not able to follow the regular curriculum and have a specific
curriculum designed according to their needs are part-time and in some
subjects in the class to which they belong to.
Our school has, as well as the entire region of Madeira, a lot of experience
working with students with special educational needs. We still have a long way
to go in the direction of true inclusion, but we have already gained extensive
experience in this area.
Even though the school has developed measures to fight school failure and
early school leaving, which have had some positive effects, our school intends
to increasingly act on prevention, thus avoiding the significant number of
retentions.
The school is also confronted with a number of difficulties not only because of
being an ultra-peripheral region but also because of the island’s geographical
features.

 I.C. “Cassarà-Guida” – Partinico, Italy is a mainstream school attended by 948


students from 3 to 14 years old. It’s located in Partinico, a town of 30,000

11
OLASA
inhabitants near Palermo. There are 120 teachers and 20 non teaching
members. The students come from different backgrounds: well-off people,
students from low class families, emigrants ‘children, disadvantaged students,
pupils with disabilities. Some students are at drop out risk, others reach very
high levels of competences. The school focuses on a learner centered
curriculum and aims the success in education for each one. Our everyday work
is based on promoting tolerance, the respect of the rules and a well treatment
for everybody, the growth of school as a community in which everybody can
feel well and be an active member with a leading role in his/her learning
process. Our teachers train regularly to update their teaching methods and to
develop learners’ competences trying to use strategies that can involve and fit
everyone and help him/her to be successful. Our institution has participated in
Comenius and Erasmus KA1 and KA2 projects about inclusion and inclusive
methodologies with the aim to create an inclusive environment. The school is
attended by about 50 students with disabilities and lots of classes have one or
two of them. It is also seat of the centre for inclusion in our area, a network of
15 schools, with the main aim of fostering inclusion of every student especially
of SEN students, and training teachers about new methodologies
 Zespół Szkół Specjalnych w Kolbuszowej Dolnej, Poland
Special Education School Complex in Kolbuszowa Dolna is meant for children
with the special educational needs. Special Education School Complex is
consisted of Primary Special School, Junior High School and Special Job-
Training School. This is the only institution (concerning the special education)
in the district of Kolbuszowa which brings the students from 5 neighbouring
municipalities. 65 students with mild, moderate, and severe mental
retardation are attending to the School. The institution employee specialized
in needs of children, pedagogical staff in the number of 34 teachers and 13

OLASA
members who help teachers in many activities. Students have compulsory
classes but they also attend revalidation classes (according to the needs of
child). Main therapies are: speech and language pathology therapy,
psychological therapy, Biofeedback, Tomatis, psycho-motor support by
W.Sherborne, art therapy, music therapy, gymnastics, general development
therapy with elements of SI, improving and stimulating classes concerning
cognitive processes. In the school students (who want to improve their
interests) can attend to optional classes, mainly: artistic classes, theatre
classes, photographic classes, sports club and choreographic club. Moreover,
the group of scouts exist in the school. Thanks to this project, we want our
students to have opportunity to know peers from other countries, their
learning methods and the most important form of sport activity in their
schools. The majority of our students come from rural areas where they don’t
have any chance to participate in sporting life. Also many of students live in
poverty and pathological families, but what the most significant their disability
doesn’t allow them for full independence. Therefore, as school we try to give
our students chance to improve their social development, including sporting
life. Participating in the project is the best form of integration with peers and
non- disabled people from other countries. Additionally, the project would
help to exchange the experience, knowledge, abilities between teachers from
different schools and participants realizes the impact of sporting activities on
human health.

-No it's a pity to paw us.

After these words, “blind man” tries to touch someone. Children move around in
confined areas, catching up by touching a “blind man”.

When someone touches someone, their role is changed.

"Two, two, three – wise woman looks"

From all the players a "wise woman" is chosen. She faces the wall with the back on
the other players arraged in a row, next to each other - along the designated line
about 15 meters from wise woman. She, stands facing the wall, says the formula:
"once, two, three ... wise woman looks at you!" and turns to face the participants. At
that time, when the wise woman has her back turned, the participants run to her - as
soon as she finished saying her formula, they had to stand still. Now wise woman
points out the people who are moving - they have to go back to the start. The rest is
still standing until she turns to the wall again and announces the formula. We play
this way until someone comes to wise woman - the first person who will do it, the
next game will become the wise woman.

"Mickey Mouse plays the buttons"

Two people hold X-shaped rubber in their hands and say the words of the rhyme:

Mickey Mouse plays the buttons; Mickey Mouse drinks the juice - tip, tap top. After
these words, the rubber holders put their feet on the rubber; raise their arms,
forming a barrier difficult to pass. The remaining persons must pass over the gum,
under or through the largest hole selected so as not to touch the gum. When

Didactic means: chalk, stone
We draw a human-shaped field, divide into 8 parts (number 1 to 8) of such size that
we can stand and jump on one leg. Every participant throws a stone on every field,
starting with "1". When he returns he raises the stone, still standing on one leg. The
participant throws the stone to the field with consecutive numbers and jumps as
before. Fun is interrupted when the player:
- stands on two legs
- will not throw the stone to the right field
- will not take the stone
Then the player is changed.

The game „RACE”

Number of participants optional;


Didactic means: bottle caps, chalk

We draw a chalk race route with varying degrees of difficulty. We mark the start and
finish. We set the bottle cap on the start and push it with the fingers towards the
finishing line. The winner is the one who first reaches the finish line. The participant
interrupts the game when the bottle cap falls off the course.

The game „WAR WARNING”

On the ground we draw a circle of about 2-3 m in diameter, and then divide it like a
pizza. Each participant chooses his piece and calls his country, e.g. Poland. Among the
players is chosen the person who holds the ball in hand, runs around and calls "I tell
war on ..." exchanges the country of the war and throws the ball up.

At this point everyone is running. The person ("COUNTRY") that has been called must
catch the ball as soon as possible and shout "STOP". Everyone stops. The person
holding the ball is approaching the selected person (he can only do 3 steps) and must

66
OLASA
hit the ball. If the attempt succeeds, you can "chop off" a chalk piece of the territory
of that state and enlarge your terrain. He does it while standing in his field. However,
if it does not hit the ball of the person, the situation is the opposite. The country with
the biggest territory wins.

The end part (8 min):

Relaxation and respiratory exercises.

Fun silencing "Deaf phone".

Participants form a circle, take corrective position..np. sitting on your knees. The first
person gives information such as "nice day" to another person quietly, to the ear.
Another person passes on this message in the same way. The last person says aloud

Grade: indicated for children from primary and secondary school and their parents

Short description of the group (number of students, the type of disability):

Big or small groups: standard students and children with intellectual and learning
disability
Parents can take part
Time: 20 minutes

Place: Playground or a tarmac playing area

Sports equipment and didactic materials: nothing special

The introductory part (10 min): First the teacher revises which side of the body is
“RIGHT” and which one is “LEFT” with all the students.
Then students and parents “build” the house gathering in groups of three people:
one will be the right wall of the house, another will be the left wall of the house and
the third one will be the owner (this role is simpler so it’s the appropriate role for the
students with disabilities). One person is out in the middle among the “houses”.
The main part (30 min):

A student or a parent (the referee) calls the part of the house that has to move (for
example „right side” or „left side” or „owner”) and as soon as he/she shouts the
name of one of the three sections the people who are taking that role have to run
away from their place and look for another place in another house. In the meantime
the person who is out has to take a place in a house so another guy will remain out to
wait for next round to take a new place in a house. The referee can also shout

78
OLASA
„EARTHQUAKE” and this means that all the roles change and all the people destroy
their houses and run to look for other two mates to build a new house. Even in this
case the person who stays out has to find two mates in order to take the place of
another guy.
The end part: At the end of the game students and parents can notice that it is easy
to play even with other people that you don’t know well and that they have played by
cooperating with all the other mates.

Conclusion
By implementing this project in all the partner schools we reached the
conclusion that it has had a significant impact on the students, teachers, parents and
each institution itself. Over these two years of this project a total of 3278 outdoor
and sport activities have been introduced in the partner schools involving 400 SEN
students and 150 teachers.

These activities demonstrated an improvement in the student’s behaviour in


social and emotional fields, reflecting an improvement in student’s psychomotor
levels and personal autonomy. Students showed progress in social abilities, self
esteem and self confidence. A particular significance for the special schools students
was the greater opportunities to work in collaboration with 802 students in
8 mainstream schools. Students had the chance to participate at group activities with
colleagues from other classes and 17 SEN students took part in transnational
mobility. This helped them improve their communication, cooperation, teamwork
and became familiar with different cultures and languages. The interviews and the
drawings from the students in mainstream schools revealed more tolerance and
acceptance towards students with disabilities. In the mainstream schools all the
students have experienced the value of each person appreciating each other’s
strengths and weaknesses. Outdoor learning has increased students motivation and
engagement to learn and attend classes.

The impact of the project on the parents was very big. The 111 satisfaction
questionnaires from parents concluded that the activities were beneficial for their
children as they commented that their children felt happy to be involved and they
would like to participate more in these types of parents-student activities.

219
OLASA
148 teachers improved their teaching methods and creativity due to their
personal research and after the trainings activities undertaken by their 50 colleagues
who participated in 6 transnational mobilities. The teachers who participated in short
term joint staff events learned about the educational systems and policies from each
partner country. They learned new approaches and methods used in teaching pupils
with special needs and different approaches used in outdoor learning and sports
activities.

Our institutions strengthened the relations with the parents and also with
other educational institutions, started new partnerships with other organizations that
are willing to continue the collaboration. By promoting schools activities, in particular
on social media, the image of the schools has increased. The Erasmus programme has
been further promoted and acknowledged by the involvement of the wide school
community and external institutions.

It has been a successful partnership; we intend to continue to develop outdoor


learning and sports activities within our institutions. We also offer this Guide as a
resource for parents, teachers, special education teachers and other organizations, to
facilitate approaches for this kind of activity.
