OPAL 12.1.24

  OPAL- Outdoor Play and Learning 


                 



Frosty Fun 

The children have come back refreshed and full of new ideas after the holiday. 

This term has started with layers of frost covering our field and playground. 

The children have been incredibly resilient when adapting their play to suit the surroundings. 






They have also shown how responsible they are by wearing the correct clothing everyday. 







The children are expected to go outside in all weathers. To make sure they are ready for this they need to bring their coat to school every day. 
When very cold, it is also advisable they bring a hat and pair of gloves. Please ensure these are named to avoid them getting lost. 

The children are also welcome to bring a change of shoes to school. They need an older pair of shoes for outside play and a warm clean pair for the classroom. 


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.
