Outdoor Area

Hi all! I was just wondering what people could suggest as absolute 'must haves' in their outdoor area. At the moment we dont have set workshop areas set up outside-should there be?

I have been based in Recpetion for seven of my 9 years of teaching. The job has been advertised externally and although I have been set targets this year to enable me to do this role I have been told that I may not even be shortlisted. If I am then I am having to teach a session in Y6 - is this the norm? I have been told it is so that I am a level playing field - yet the other applicants are all KS2 based. Does anyone know the type of questions I may be asked at interview. …
