YPOAND PRITT LAUNCH £3,000 SCHOOL COMPETITION TO ENCOURAGE LEARNING OUTDOORS
T
o celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day, YPO, one of the UK’s largest publicly owned buying
organisations, and Pritt, have launched a competition for schools to encourage outdoor learning and promote the benefits of creativity and spending time in nature. Entry into the competition requires school pupils
to create a crafting masterpiece by foraging for natural materials and using eco-friendly products. YPO and Pritt are asking for the masterpiece to be inspired by the pupils’ favourite animals, but are open to all sorts of creations, as long as they are inspired by the great outdoors. Entries will be judged by YPO and Pritt, and the winning school will receive £3,000 funding which can be used to support a school trip or other outdoor learning pursuits. The two runner-up schools will each receive a pack of 208 Pritt glue sticks, which are made from 97% natural ingredients, and up to 65% recycled plastic. YPO helps the education and public sector make
savings in procurement through the provision of supplier frameworks and resources like school products, and Pritt has supported child development since 1969 by providing the best, safest, and most sustainable craft products and curriculum-focused educational resources: guides, videos, and downloadable templates to support teachers. The organisations have partnered to offer YPO’s highest value prize ever. Daniela Alves, Brand Manager at Henkel, Pritt’s
parent company, says, “Learning outdoors is so important for child development - it encourages creativity, problem-solving, independence, confidence, and most importantly, it’s fun! Creating artwork and being in nature also helps increase happiness and promote positive mental well-being, so we hope to shine a light on all of the benefits of outdoor learning and crafting with this competition.” Martyn Armytage, Head of Education at YPO,
said, “We are excited to launch a competition in partnership with Pritt that will encourage children to learn outdoors and are looking forward to seeing the nature-inspired masterpieces that pupils create. Outdoor learning is hugely beneficial to child development, and our competition will help encourage it in schools across the UK.” To enter the competition, schools should send
their creations to YPO using #CraftWithPritt and #YPOCreateandMake on social media, or they can email
marketing@ypo.co.uk with their entry. For a bonus entry, you can also sign up for YPO’s newsletters here. Entries are open until Friday 24th June. You can find more details, including full T&Cs, on the competition webpage.

How to set your class up for success S
tarting a new school year is an exciting time in children’s lives, with the opportunity to make new friends and discover more about themselves. However, it can also come with challenges for all age groups, whether
that’s year 11’s about to take their GCSEs or year seven students making the leap from primary to secondary school. Now that they are at secondary school, they’ll have to navigate the hallways of a larger school and bond with peers to make new friends, all the while getting to know and feel comfortable with their new teachers. Whilst that can seem overwhelming, residential trips such as those offered
by PGL, the UK's leading outdoor education provider, are a fantastic way to help students of all ages develop ways to cope with new situations and new people. And if taken during the autumn term, they are the perfect way for

single classes or whole year groups to bond, setting the new school year off to a motivating and inspiring start. During a PGL trip, students and teachers alike will take part in exciting
adventure-based activities, from abseiling to kayaking, to create a stimulating environment for learning, bonding and growth. By stepping outside their comfort zone, with the support of trained PGL instructors, students can discover new strengths whilst developing confidence and trust within the group and with their teacher, which they will take back into the classroom.
