OPAL - Outdoor Play and Learning
We believe that playing outdoors in rich environments is one of the best ways for children to enhance their social skills, build resilience, forge friendships, spark their creativity, and foster a love for the planet. Now, more than ever, this is crucial for their development.
Our playground project has generated incredible excitement among the children, who have passionately contributed ideas for the outdoor resources they'd like to see. Rest assured that all equipment is thoroughly risk assessed before it goes outside, and the children learn the rules for safe, fun play during assembly time.
To keep our playtime experiences fresh and engaging, we are still in need of donations. If you're decluttering or have any items you no longer need, please consider donating to us! The following items would greatly enhance our outdoor play opportunities (examples below):
- Bread crates
- Cable drums
- Metal/plastic pots and pans
- A variety of plastic utensils
- Guttering
- Dressing up clothes
- Blankets (great for our den building!)
- Small World toys (like dinosaurs and cars)
- Scooters
- Skateboards
- Deck chairs/camping chairs (all sizes)
- Pencils, pens, and chalks
Your contributions will help our children enjoy a wider range of play experiences. Please drop off any donations at the school office for Mrs. Stanley to collect.
Also, do let us know if you are creative and have any fabulous ideas or want to get involved!
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Stanley
