Sensory Trust information sheet Plain language is not designed to corrupt and debase the glories of the English language. It is designed to communicate precisely the things you need to communicate to your intended audience. We use the term plain language because many of the principles here can apply to information produced in any language. Benefits of plain language Readers are more likely to: l bother to read clear concise documents than long complex ones; l understand what you are saying; l favour organisations that say things clearly. Information providers benefit because: l your message is more likely to be understood and acted upon; l shorter documents require less paper; l you can say more in the same space; l translations into, for example, Braille are cheaper to produce and easier to use. Guidelines Before you start writing be clear about: l who you are talking to; l what you want to tell them; l what they want and need to know; l what you want them to do as a r

early years There are so many great reasons for taking learning and play outdoors. Seasonal and weather changes help develop children holistically and encourage specific areas of learning, such as knowledge and understanding of the world. With places to relax and daydream in, and places to be loud and creative, feelings and emotions can be explored. Numeracy and problem-solving can be supported with hands-on experiences and the chance to work on a larger scale. It is a great place to tell stories, sing songs and support role play. Outdoors children can manage physical risks and test their boundaries. They can create dens and hiding places and engage in experiences that help develop life skills such as confidence, creativity and decision-making. And last, but not least, fresh air and activity are essential for children’s wellbeing and health. The more children’s muscles and senses are exercised, the more the brain develops its capacity for learning. Being outdoors can transform

schools Taking learning outdoors can transform lessons. Don’t be daunted – plan for success, follow a few key strategies and you will be inspired to take children outdoors even more. Learning through Landscapes May 2011 Make yourself heard! • Check that outdoors the children will be able to hear you. If, for example, the field is being mown, or there is an outdoor performance practice, will it be too noisy for you to be heard? • Position yourself so the children have their backs to the sun when they look at you, and so your voice travels downwind. • Avoid the tendency to call or talk too loudly to the children. • Praise the children who are showing that they are listening to you. Be prepared • Check the outdoor area you wish to use will be free when you need it. • Collect together all the extra resources you may need and check you have enough of everything. • For written work supply clipboards and pencils (easier to write with if there is a shower) and take spares. • Depending
