OPAL Play – Autumn and Winter Update

 



OPAL Play – Autumn and Winter Update

We were delighted to achieve our Platinum Award in the Summer Term and looking forward to continuing to develop our outdoor provision this year. Our children are as enthusiastic as ever about OPAL play! Whether it’s balancing on tyres and planks, digging in the sand pit, creating stories in the small world area or building dens, OPAL continues to offer creative, exciting and inclusive playtimes for all.

As the weather turns wetter and colder, OPAL doesn’t stop! In fact, it becomes even more adventurous! Children love splashing in puddles, making mud pies, building shelters, and exploring how the changing seasons transform their play. To make sure every child can enjoy this to the fullest, we ask that all children have wellies and waterproofs in school every day. This ensures they can play freely and stay comfortable whatever the weather.

How You Can Help!

Our OPAL journey is all about using real, everyday resources to spark imagination and creativity. You can support us by donating any unwanted materials you might have at home. For the autumn and winter months, we are especially looking for:

  • Crates and buckets

  • Guttering and pipes

  • Tarpaulins and large waterproof sheets

  • Scooters, buggies, wheelbarrows and watering cans

  • Empty plastic bottles (for water play)

  • Cones and other safe construction materials

Your donations make a huge difference in enriching playtimes for all children. Thank you for helping us make OPAL a success throughout every season!

Please bring donations to the school office or leave just isdie of the school gates.
