What changes have been made to our playtimes?

What has happened so far.
 
We have already made some fun changes to lunchtimes:
 
  • Infant and junior children can now access all of the school grounds
  • New music boombox
  • Art and crafts zone
  • Dressing up costumes
  • Chalk
  • Small world- (cars, Lego, K'NEX)
  • Bubbles
  • Giant Jenga & Connect 4
All of the above have been added to complement the already available large open space, gym area and basketball net. 
 
The exciting path ahead.
 
We are starting to implement new play opportunities into zones, ensuring the zones are fun, safe and we have suitable resources.
We are so excited to get out there and fulfill a long list of exciting additional play opportunities we have planned over the next 18 months which include:
 
  • A sand pit
  • Mud kitchen
  • Wheeled area- scooters
  • Further small world
  • Reading quiet spaces
  • Water area
  • Music area
July update
 
Thank you to Pex Hill football club for donating two football nets to replace ours which were well used. Every year group are having lots of fun playing team games, taking penalties and dribbling and practising football skills.
 
Mud kitchen
 
Our cihildren are now enjoying  our new mud kitchen using recipes to make mud pies, leaf wraps and conker cakes.They are eager to explore and experiment with utensils, mud, water and nautral materils such as leaves, pine cones, twigs, and acorns. 
 
 
Sand pit
 
In June construction of our sand pit was completed. With the resources the chilren brought in, they have had great pleasure in building sandcastles, making sand ice creams and using sand toys to mould star fish and shells.
