OPAL 9.6.23

 OPAL- Outdoor Play and Learning 


                 



The Friendship Hut


As part of the OPAL program children are asked for suggestions as to what they would like to add to the school playground. 


Many children had asked for more social spaces so they could relax and chat with their friends. 

We listened to this and turned the old tree house into a new friendship hut. 








This is a calming place for children to enjoy during their break times. 



So far we have had very pleasing reviews from the children. 








We hope this is a space they continue to enjoy and use over the coming months. 






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.
