For humans the need for movement is natural. The movement has a positive
effect on the development of muscles, bones and joints, body weight, on our
health and well-being. With movement, we strengthen our immune system,
develop positive self-esteem, improve concentration and memory. Therefore,
at the branch primary school Trje, a lot of attention is paid to playing and out-
door activities in the immediate surroundings of the school in the extended
stay classes during relaxation activities and creative leisure time. In fresh air,
students enjoy, relax, play and socialize, make contact, create, develop their
motor skills, gain condition and energy to work. At our school we can choose
from a lot of surfaces, which teachers can use in their lessons: children’s play-
ground, a tennis court, a volleyball court, a forest with a forest learning path,
an outdoor fitness and a parking lot with game painted on the pavement. In the
paper I will present the surroundings of the branch primary school Trje and
how they are included in the extended stay by teachers in our everyday school
life.
Keywords: movement, school environment, extended stay classes, outdoor
