OPAL 21.4.23

                                       


OPAL- Outdoor Play and Learning 


Wheeled Toys - Buggies


Summer Term is finally here and we are ready to make the most of all of our OPAL equipment. 


As the weather improves more of the field will be back in action and the dry shed is now open with extra resources. 


Over the holidays, we received some new buggies for our wheeled area. We are so pleased as these are some of our favourite resources for lunch times. 







We can get very creative with the different games that we play. 


We have had races. 

We have role played families. 

We have also just enjoyed the rest and sunshine while sat in them. 



To ensure the equipment is looked after and we are safe while using it we have come up with the following rules:

  • Only in the wheeled area. 
  • Take your turn and share with others.
  • Look where you are going and watch out for others.
  • Only one child per buggy.
  • Look for dangers before beginning. 
  • Travel at a safe and comfortable speed.

As always we would appreciate any more resources you could add to our collection. So, do think of us if you are having a clear out. The items we are looking for will enable us to enjoy a wider range of play experiences during playtime (see below for some examples):

  • Bread crates
  • Cable drums
  • Metal/plastic pots and pans
  • Range of plastic utensils.
  • Guttering
  • Dressing up clothes
  • Blankets (to add to our den building)
  • Small World toys (Dinosaurs, cars etc..)
  • Scooters
  • Deck chairs/ camping chairs (all sizes)
  • Outdoor cushions

Please take any donations to the school office.
