OPAL 15.9.23

 OPAL- Outdoor Play and Learning 

                 

Welcome Back 

It has been lovely to welcome the children back after the summer holidays. They seem to have come back with renewed energy and have made the most of their break and lunchtimes so far. 

The children have had an assembly reminding them of the OPAL rules and zones. It didn't take them long to find the equipment and get going. 

They have been shown some amazing new resources made over the holidays from simple wooden pallets. 

They have even remembered how to be Dynamic Risk Assessors and check all the equipment before using it. 

Any broken resources need to be reported to an adult straight away. 

The children were also pleased to find out that football in specific areas is now encouraged. They are all aware of the rules and have done really well at following these. 

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.
