needs• Consider appropriate locations for different activities• Consider acoustics carefully and plan for noisy and quiet

activities• Create strong connections to the outdoor learning

environment• Furniture should be exciting and used to separate areas• Learning spaces can be changed using movable furniture• ICT should support the learner needs and go beyond PCs• Justify your choices in terms of learner needs and outcomes
